Largest aperture: f/2.0. Slowest usable shutter speed: 1/60s (or 1/30s). 35mm f/1.4. Largest aperture: f/1.4. Slowest usable shutter speed: 1/30s (or 1/15s). The shorter focal length typically lets you get away with one stop slower shutter speed. Total gain = two stops. M. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
