The question is, under what circumstances are you normally shooting? In bright sun? Go for the Summicron. In available darkness? Go for the Summilux or Noctilux. Simple. B.

More so than using an f/1.4 lens at f/11 or f/16? Should I never use my f/2 lens at f/22? I don't understand. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
