I think everybody should dedicate this lens permanently mounted to a body. I had the ASPH version, but sold it. I cannot explain why the ASPH did not create as much emotional/sentimental feelings I have compared with the pre-ASPH version. Yes, I do attach emotional feelings towards my lens...., cannot say the same with camera bodies though. - --- DUNCAN <airborn@euromail.se> wrote: > Ah...some other lonesome souls at Easter:-) My Mrs. > has gone to see the > family for Easter and I managed to escape for a few > days:-) > > Anyways, I use and love the Summicron.
