It is a new design, and the words "APO" and "ASPH" are only relevant to marketing and manufacturing. They connote a lot, but they mean nothing. Performance counts, the rest is marketing nonsense.....( boy, am I going to hear about that last comment...) Remember... it is the same price as the 75/1.4 new, twice the price of a used 75/1.4, it is a bit lighter ( I remember 100g but don't trust me); and it will be clinically sharp. It will not have the Bokeh of the 75/1.4 It is apparently a bit shorter ( check again....) and a bit less in diameter ( F1.4 vs. F2, it SHOULD be smaller). If you want clinically accurate photography, get it. If you want a "look" get a 75/1.4. If you have a 75/1.4, why would anyone want a slower lens, other than the 100g and the smaller diameter? And the faster shutter speed is "free" on the 75/1.4, if you use it wide open. Frank Filippone, who favors the faster 75, both for "the Look" and .the speed and the price (used). red735i@earthlink.net Steve Barbour Enviado el: viernes, 01 de abril de 2005 3:44 Para: Leica Users Group Asunto: Re: [Leica] APO SUMMICRON 75 APO ASPH or both ?
