Hi all,
I have a question about the Leica 35/1.4 Summilux-M "Aspherical" lens versus the Summilux-M ASPH version.
I have two Summilux-M "Aspherical" lenses that I am selling for a friend, and from what I've seen, they go for a lot more than the ASPH versions. Why is this, other than the fact that Leica did not produce that many of them? Is the image quality really that much better, or is it solely because of scarcity?
I have noticed that Leica lens prices have been fluctuating wildly (skyrocketing) in recent months, as far as I've seen. Where can I go to find out how much the lenses that I have are really worth? I would hate to base my pricing off of completed eBay auctions (not too scientific). I also have a Noctilux 50/1 and a 21/2.8 w/VF that I need to find values on.
Thanks in advance.
