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 -----Mensaje original----- De: lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org]En nombre de Colin Yastrzebski Enviado el: miercoles, 09 de marzo de 2005 0:54 Para: LUG 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!
