I own both the older non asph 35/1.4 and the 1st version aspherical, and while there are readily noticeable differences at 1.4 and 2 (MAYBE 2.8), by f5.6 or f8 there is no noticeable difference between them. Maybe there is under a 15x loupe, but that doesn't count. Dan C. Am I really missing something here? If one didn't need 1.4 and 2, one could deal with a 35 2.8. But if the new asph, is clearly better at 1.4 and at f 2, then it is unquestionably a superior low light lens to the old 35 Summilux, which, after all, is why one would consider buying and using it.
