And why would that be? Do you own this lens and speak from experience? Apart from its performance wide open, this lens still produces outstanding results, extremely sharp with nice colors and good contrast. I use it with my M3, as there is no other goggled 35mm lens, and also own the latest 35asph. Believe me, at anything from f4 you would be very hard pressed to tell the difference.

If you don't believe me, just have a look at the MTF-curves and you will see that it took Leica some time to match those with their later 35mm lenses.

Cheers,
