Ok, I am debating with myself - wanting lenses like a 50/1.0 or 0.95 or a 35/1.4asph or 21 and 24/1.4 - how much is lust and how much would one really have an practible advantage?
How much difference do we see in an image from using a 35mm lens at f1.4 and at f2.0 full frame? Browsing through the 35mm images in LFI I realized they were nearly all from the Summicron and Summarit. Even with a crop sensor and f2.8 of the x1 one can still generate some shallow DOF.
I do know that I like having f1.4 in my 24mm lens though and do use it quite often.
I also do know that I am quite happy with f1.4 in my 50mm lens - occasionally I think I would shoot f0.95 but seldemly and the price of the Noctilux is just too much for me for those 5 images a year.
But I am "fighting" with myself if I should add the new 35/1.4asph, or keep the 35/2.5 (I like its drawing a lot, I like its size, what I dont like is the longer minimum distance), or maybe the in between the 35 Summicron....
Anyways, how do you guys feel. How much is lust for speed, and how much do you really shoot wide open, maybe also some images ....
