When I compare with my Summicron 2/35mm, SN 3639xxx, or with my Summilux 1,4/50mm SN 1897xxx I appreciate: Compared with Summicron 35 it is less sharp and contrasted. Up to stop 5,6 are the same Compared with Lux 50, I find too is less contrasted and sharp, and the bokeh is not the same. My personal conclusion is that the extra stop don?t pay the lens because to have image quality you should work with F2 or even better at 2,8. In my opinion Cron is better at F2, if you want use 1,4 it should be at extremely cases only. Are you agree? Maybe the best I could do is change both for a Lux 35 ASPH, but I like very much the small size of the old ones. Saludos desde Barcelona Luis
