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

[jbcollier at shaw.ca (John Collier)]

I have heard some people rave about their 'lux pre-asphs. Though soft  
and fuzzy wide open, it should be a good performer at f/2. The pre  
asph 'cron at f/2 is not exactly state of the art at f/2 either. I  
think it might be worthwhile to get a CLA from a good Leica tech IF  
you really only need f/1.4 in emergencies. If you would like to use f/ 
1.4 often, get an Asph.
