D. Yes! The 28/2.0 is constantly amazing me in low light/wide open shooting. Shots that I expect to be so-so are as sharp and with lots of detail as you can get. This lens is a keeper and will be getting a lot of use from me and once it starts to get into users hands in large numbers will probably replace the two 35 ASPHs as the lens to have. As far as the Cosina 28/1.9 I am sure it is a good lens, but I simply cannot play the comparison game, I know up front that I can trust Leica glass to be of the highest order. With the 28/2.0 it has surpassed all my expectations. sl > > Dan Honemann wrote: >> >> > I was wondering what folks thought of the 28 Summicron-M ASPH.
