They are extremely different in their makeup. 35mm fast lenses are much harder to design than 50mm lenses, and the 35 Summilux I believe is a much newer design. It came out in the '84 Photokina. I don't remember when the 50 did, but I believe it was at least 4 or five years before, and someone told me once that it's the same optical formula as the series 7 (6?) version which goes way back. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Seek the wisdom of the ages, but look at the world through the eyes of a=20 child.
