Last non-Asph is a great performer. While softer than the Asph wide  
open, it has smoother focus transitions and a smoother focus throw as  
well. I was going to buy one until the Asph was announced and I am  
sure I would have been happy with it. The Asph's performance is  
stunning wide open, just like the 35/1.4 Asph wide open, but  
mechanically the focus action is not the butter smooth that most M  
lenses are.
