Subject: Choosing and R series 35mm focal lenght lens

Dear LUG:

I need a 35mm focal length lens for my R8. As you know, the current choices
are the Summicron and the Summilux. The Summicron does not having a floating
element in it and is rumored to have a loss of focus below 1.4 meters. The
Summilux has a floating element, but has more elements and greater weight.

I am checking in to see what experince has been had with these two lenses.
Also, does any one else suspect that there will be an aspheric version for
the R series due out soon?

Cheers, Pete
