IMHO it is easy appreciate: 1.- Summilux 35 ASPH is the best. 2.-Summicron 40 at F2 is better than Nokton. 3.- Nokton is better than Summilux Pre-Asph The conclusion could be very easy: Don?t pay for a Pre-Asph Lux 35 mm, if you need 1,4 buy a Nokton, or a ASPH Lux, if you don?t need 1,4 buy a Summicron. Except I still have a remaining self-question: IMO we can?t judge a lens only for his performances at extreme conditions, and I ask me and to the other LUG friends, what about mid-tones?, grey tones? Middle contrast?, on these aspects I usually prefer Leica, but I don?t have experience with Nokton. I?ll appreciate your comments Saludos desde Barcelona Luis
