You either have v.5 Summicron ASPH, or v.4 Summicron (so-called bokeh king), which is not ASPH.  Differences might influence your decision.

As others note, there are many characteristics that might influence one’s choice, including size, weight, ergonomics and handling, hood design, speed, rendering (including flare, bokeh, etc), price, and more.  Might depend, too, on camera bodies involved.

I added the current 35 Summilux ASPH (FLE) to my 35 Summicron ASPH v.1 and 35 Summaron f2.8 (1960).   Different in many of the above aspects.  But any of these lenses are more than capable of delivering terrific results in a comprehensive print workflow. Much depends on subject matter, rendering and display goals and how well the user extracts that potential.  Just like all the other hardware (and software) we scrutinize. We’re spoiled for choice.

Yes. It is true.  I made a mistake.

No problem. It’s informally called either v.5 35 Summicron or v.1 Summicron ASPH. I also own one, as noted in the post you quoted.  We should probably just use the 5 digit part number to distinguish.
