But, there is no F1.4 place on the Crons.....   If you are running out of 
light, there is no substitute for the speed of the lens.

My vote....?  If I had the $$$ I would own the ASPH Lux.  #2 choice is the 
PRE ASPH Lux..

I own or have owned all of these lenses.......  The PRE ASPH Lux is a tiny 
lens.  Another  point in its favor....

Ric,

I bought my 'Lux as a nib lens last year and paid $1600 for it, and it is a 
Titanium finish lens.  A real nice looking lens when mounted on the Chrome 
M6.  
I probably paid too much, but it has been a real nice lens and it is indeed 
tiny but i am real happy with the purchase as the performance is great in my 
opinion.
