Subject: [Leica] Advice needed on 35mm lens for Leica M

Hi,

In my opinion if you are interested on smooth bokeh probably would be better
for your taste with Summilux, the Summicron ASPH is more sharper, maybe
"crisp" lens. In addition if you need or appreciate an aperture to 1,4
choose the Lux, but if you don't' need 1,4, neither the ASPH perfection,
choose the classical Cron. Best money value.

On the other side, I agree all the comments from Feli.

Saludos desde Barcelona
Luis

Asunto: [Leica] Advice needed on 35mm lens for Leica M

I need some help to choose a used 35mm lens for
my M outfit to replace a Summicron I lent to a
friend and never got back (my friend bought it
from me).  I am using a 40mm Summicron-C as a
temporary replacement.

I could just replace the 35mm Summicron with
another, however I wondered about the pre-ASPH
Summilux and also the ASPH Summicron, which now
seems to be coming on to the used market in
larger numbers.

I would like my "new" lens to have the smooth
bokeh of the Summicron.  Does the ASPH share the
"look" or the non-ASPH Summicron?

Does the Summilux (pre-ASPH) also have smooth
bokeh?  Does sharpness suffer because of the
f/1.4 maximum aperture?

Questions ... questions ... but they are best
asked before I buy!

Thanks.
