It wouldn't matter what the lens was in Tina's hands of course!
Umm check your maths  on the f stops difference Nathan ;-) ;-) But I agree
of course that the Summarit is a great lens to consider too.

Now putting my hand up for the APO Summicron 75 ASPH.
It's my favourite lens of all. It is *ONE* stop slower than the Summilux ;-)
(Also doesn't focus shift, is significantly smaller, shorter focus
throw, better corrected and CAN do dreamy as well as sharp ;-)
