Broere "...If you can afford it, purchase the 35mm f/2 Summicron. This lens is universal. Even at f/4 its definition is fantastic, so that I rarely stop down further. As with all wide-angle lenses, the depth of field is enormous, wich is a further reason for not stopping down much further than f/4 , as= otherwise everithing from front to back is sharp. The result is dull and monotonous and detracts from pictorial effect... =2E..One of the great virtues of the Summicron is the soft transition fro= m sharp definition to unsharpness, giving enhanced relief while retaining shape in the unsharp features of the picture. I have worked with many wide-angle lenses of a great variety of makes but the 35mmm Summicron is superior in quality to all of them...." Was that guy the father of all LUGers ?
