It's amazing. = After trying both, I made the opposite choice and never regret it. I try to use Summilux for reportage and stop because the focusing was to slow. For travel it is to heavy, and for landscape you don't need 1,4, and on top of that the 35/1,4 don't like polarizing filter because of vignetting= =2E I find the 35/1,4 really usefull only on a M camera and I'm surprised tha= t Leica still sell some 35/1,4 R sinds the release of the M 35/,14 ASPH. This a personnal point of view and I don't ask anybody to share it. ;-) Lucien BELGIUM
