But my pre-asph 35mm cron is a little beauty. Tiny, zingy , great Bokeh... Not sure if it's the last or next to last model (how do you tell?). I'd say it's taken most of my Leica M pix - so nicely worn in, with all the good electrons facing the right way after those exposures. Mind you, nice as it is, I might do a straight swap for a 35mm lux Asph... :-) tim > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of faneuil > Sent: Saturday, April 05, 2003 5:28 PM > To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > Subject: Re: [Leica] Alternate to current 35mm ASPH? > > > Ok - so from all the responses I have received I am thinking of selling my > 35 lux ASPH for the compactness of a 4th gen 35 summicron.
