IMO the older 35 Summilux is basically a fourth version 35 Summicron with an extra stop of speed for when you really need it. The difference in performance from f/1.4 to f/2 with this lens is dramatic. It's got sharpness galore, just not at f/1.4. - -Dave- - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
