[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]My take on it Don, depends upon two things - the comparative quality of the lenses when shooting at 1.4 and smaller apertures - 2.8, 4 etc, and how often one has to shoot at 1/4 sec, an 1/8th, a 1/15th, and even a 30th. Because if the answer to question two is "allot," then this lens could definitely be an image saver. BUT, I would be hard pressed to give up the quality of the asph 35 1.4 for something that isn't damn close in quality - at least when shooting tri-x at 800, handheld - as opposed to slide film on a tripod. ;-) - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of Don Dory Sent: Tuesday, April 29, 2003 9:26 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: Re: [Leica] C/V 35mm F1.2, suddenly faster B.D. You are right, 1.2 is a half stop faster than the 1.4 ASPH. I still don't think that is enough for an existing ASPH owner to make a change. If you don't already own a fast 35 then duh.
