If you don't shoot at F2 very often then the ASPH doesn't offer many advantages. This is implying that many times we are really at F4; and we aren't necessarily always the best practitioners of the art. But, the 150 grams does let you shoot your Childs play, Mardi Gras at sunset, do limited DOF studies, shoot Tech Pan in limited light, and for those times when an absolutely superb image is important to you the ASPH are better especially into the corners. Advice time: if money isn't the deal then keep both or sell the ASPH and buy the 28 Summicron ASPH. If money is the deal then you will have to decide who you are(I engage in what ifs so I need the best for example). Once you are comfortable in your own skin then sell whichever is less necessary. If it matters I have the same quandary. I have the last non ASPH, the 61 Lux, an older 3.5 and a Canon 2.8. I have been toying with selling all for the 35 lux ASPH but would also hate to give up the small size and unique fingerprints of some of the lenses. In time all will be revealed.
