Hi Charlie, Size: from what I saw of Howard's Summi (looks like a sumo - wink) I woul= dn't expect a 35 to be leaner - the D 25 is far from the M feel in any cas= e. = I use my R 24 Elmarit as a 50mm (F2.8 only that's true) but perfectly manu= al , and not so bad in most cases. NO AF / no OIS. And, sure the bokeh is = not that of a summi's. = What Howard showed us has very fine rendition (I would have liked a bit of= colour testing though) and an undeniable Summi touch to his two portraits= =2E Yours Phil...x ----Message d'origine---- >Date: Mon, 7 May 2007 14:59:27 -0400 >De: <chfalke=40cox.net> >A: leicareflex=40freelists.org >Sujet: =5BLRflex=5D Re: Summilux 25 manual focusing >Copie =E0: phamard=40numericable.fr > >Phil, > Interesting answer I didn't think of. > I wasn't thinking about the speed, 2.8 is OK, but the size = >and weight.
