Small sample sizes can be misleading.  I've had a lot of trouble with
my 35/1.4 asph, including a lot of flare, despite Leica saying that
the lens is 'within specification' but the Nokton I borrowed was
excellent.  I'll probably get a Nokton later this year or next year.

The 35/1.2 Nokton has less focus shift than the 35/1.4 asph, which
matters to me.
