I pair my 50/2 Summicron with the 35/2 for general photography, and use the 50 a bit more. For available light, I use the 35/1.4 Summilux ASPH, paired with the humble 50/1.5 VC Nokton. I know this may give the purists fits, but they have a similar look, and they work well together for me. --Peter At 05:21 PM 3/2/05 -0800, Tina Manley <images@InfoAve.Net> >I still have and use my pre-Asph 35 Summicron even though I also have the >aspherical version.
