Gabor, I must go to Japan and meet with you. We love our Noc, love our SA21/3.4, loved our CronIV and then sold it for the Lux35preA, and both want a Lux 35 Asph if it were not that expansive. 😎
 
The lens suffers from (is blessed with?) severe coma and flare at full aperture.

Chacun a son gout, though. If you like it, you like it, right? The lens has its charms.

My personal favorite Leica lens was the 50mm pre-aspherical Summilux, another "less-than-perfect" lens. It has its charms, too, but it's more discreet about them, whereas the 35 pre-aspherical lux (like the Noctilux) practically screams its signature at full aperture.

There is no "objective standard" about this sort of thing.

It's the people that are the most objective, not the writers, or the rules.

The problem about the "objective standards" is that great photos are coming out.

We're not saying the the Lux35preA is the best lens ever. We're just a bunch of people that, in the right time of our lives, come across this very lens and fall in love with it.

Please don't tell us we can't or shouldn't.

this lens is blessed and it has magical powers.
 
thanks for appreciation, im am rediscovering the use of this lens this lens. I only have two 35s mm lens, the 35mm lux preasph and the 35mm f1.2 nokt. after using the modern 35mm f1.2 Nokt, I find it quite slow to use due to lack of focusing tab. I like the size this preasph.
 
Ary & Gabor, you can get the 35 asph lux from Robertwhite.uk for $2,600 usd + VAT. Leica expanded their 15% rebate through March. Not bad compared to the CRAZY prices offered at other places.

Yes but ... I meant the 35mm Summilux Aspherical (not ASPH !) and the copy I have seen on Ebay had a BIN of ~ $ 6000. 😱
 
just got my 35 lux the other week and am loving it. I have never seen the lies glow until I got this lens. And the 1504 does unscrew to accept a series 7 filter. But one thing I havent figured out is if there is a cap that can go on the filter. I am paranoid that while the hood is on I might accidently face the lens towards the sun and was hoping there was a cap for that hood.

Aaron, great ! That 35mm Summilux pre-ASPH is nice 🙂 You should try it at night also, it can flare nasty when there are spot lights just outside the frame but other than this it behaves nicely. 😀

About the cap ... Try to get a cheap third party snap-on lens cap in a size that fits onto the hood. My guess is that E58 might fit (I tried E55 -> to small and E60 -> to large). Myself, I stick the front-cap of my Super-Angulon-M 21/3.4 inside the hood of the 35mm Summilux pre-ASPH and it works perfect.
