All shot with a vintage 1969 35mm Summilux (with infinity lock for those of you interested in the lens version.) This lens has become my indispensable lens over my DR Summicron. It's just an awesome optic.

Stunning pictures!
Maybe an little CLA just for calibrate (... the portrait miss focus spot on) to DAG or Sherry, as well as you want.
Anyway, this "stopper" 35/1.4 are not only collectable object but also useful tool with kindly features.
Kind regards.
Shabbat Shalom.

hi everyone! i just wanted to add to this thread. i recently picked up a 35 lux pre-asph and im still getting to get to know her. i have been using summicrons for the past 3 years, mostley the 40cron but also i had the 35cron v4. i defently have to say the lux is something special and draws like no other.

Sometimes the results I get with this lens are incredible, and sometimes just crappy. I haven't learned its intricacies yet.. One thing is sure, it's not your run-of-the-mill lens!

At all apertures, or just wide open? Mine seems very well behaved and works more or less like my old Summicrons at f2 and smaller stops. Wide open it is much more finicky.

Same here. I shoot my pre-ASPH most of the time at f2.0. I know enough when I can open the lens all the way. Any light source at an angle will produce flare. Sometimes it's beautiful and at other times can ruin the image.
I now use the next version of the Lux. Not the newest FLE version but the one prior. It renders out of focus areas very similar to the pre-ASPH which I really liked but works much better wide open than the pre-ASPH.

Duane,
have you noticed any focus shift or is it more a web topic discussion ?!
