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 ;-) (Two LUG daughters) http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman/image/134372492 http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman/image/139278350 Cheers, Geoff http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman On 20 March 2012 00:47, Nathan Wajsman <photo at frozenlight.eu> wrote: > I totally agree, it is a difficult lens to master but the results are > magic when you get it right.
