The older 35 Summilux was a slightly better 35 Summicron IV by F4. Between 1.4 and 2.something the lens was somewhat soft throughout, much like your 50 1.2 Canon. The rendition was similar to using the least powerful Softar filter, sharp but with softness attached. Some said the lens was flarey but my late production version held up really well into the light. If you remember I posted some pictures at a B52 concert last fall and the shots were right into the spots with no ghosting. I sold mine as I just wasn't using the lens at 1.4 and was otherwise using the gen IV Summicron. Also, the lens was just too pretty and worth so much more pretty than my normal well used equipment.
