Karina - The question isn't whether the 35 Summicron is a good lens - the
question is to you need a 1.4 lens? If you need a fast lens, spend the extra
money - the Summilux ASPH is a really amazing piece of glass. But if you
rarely or never need the speed, save the money.

Slobodan,

I am tossing up between 35mm Cron and Lux - are you really happy with Cron?
It's cheaper than the Lux and I need to get the 90mm as some stage so
savings would go towards this.

(we are having a Leica Day in Perth - end of May - should be some good
demo prices going.)
