I love the Summicron ASPH. Has its own special character. Lovely bokeh and sharp at f2. Tri-X in D76 on an M6. This is a neg scan, the actual print is much nicer. The hair on the cats chest is incredibly detailed and yet creamy at the same time.

Personally I won't look further than the Summilux FLE. It's just such a beautiful balance of technical brilliance and character and it close to perfect to me. I love the bokeh from this lens and the colour and contrast is something to behold, IMO, the only thing that would make me consider selling it is a 35mm Noctilux.

For me the quality of the in focus image is far more important that the quality of what is out of focus. There is too much emphasis on Bokeh. Especially with wide angle lenses like a 35 or wider. Even at moderately wide apertures they have lots of depth of field. I know that Bokeh is important to many photographers. I just never selected lenses on their Bokeh quality.
