I use this lens when I would usually use the Noctilux but need more in the frame. It seems more like the Noctilux than the aspherical lenses. I like the older lens for B&W documentary photos. I like the newer aspherical lens for color. No reason - that's just my preference. Tina Tina Manley, ASMP www.tinamanley.com Faces of Iraq: http://www.leica-gallery.net/tinamanley/folder-4312.html
