I have never used one but have friends who claim it is soft, has much barrel distortion and such...the 20-35 was one of the best corrected 20's I have ever used. Now the Canon 24 1.4L is a different story...a great lens, great companion for the Noctilux...but I still want a 35 summilux ASPH.....just can't justify that kinda ccccost right now. - -- Harrison McClary http://www.mcclary.net - ---------- >From: RBedw51767@aol.com >To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us >Subject: Re: [Leica] Test charts and 28-70 AF-S >Date: Tue, Oct 19, 1999, 4:38 PM > > From what I can tell > the new 17-35 that replaces the 20-35 may be another example of the > replacement being optically inferior at higher in price.
