Subject: [Leica] Summilux M 1,4/35 PRE ASPH deception

Bonjour Didier, plutot Bonsoir

This is a good idea, I have some recent pictures with the Lux to post, IMO
the negative aspects are at full aperture low overall contrast and
vigneting, at F2 is better but it think Summicron is better, up to 2,8 I
don't appreciate differences, except on the flare, recently I've take some
pictures with the Lux and I appreciate some reflections.

I always have a UV filter, I ask me if maybe with the Lux this can cause the
flare, as you know the hood and the system to put the filters on the Lux and
on the Cron are different, on the Cron is E39, on the Lux is S7 on the hood.

Anyway I think that the only serious way to compare both is with a tripod,
the same picture and the same aperture. Next week end I want to do the
experiment and show to the LUG.

Saludos cordiales desde Barcelona
Luis

I do not have any of the mentioned lenses, but I am interested in either
the 35 pre-asph 'lux and 35 pre-asph 'cron. It would be very interesting to
see comparisons shots between them - do you have any to post?

TIA
Didier
