After finally obtaining a preasph 50 lux , I have become more interested in lenses that have a special character or signature. On film I often looked for those Leica lenses that had the highest color saturation ,contrast and resolution. Almost all of Leica s lens line was designed with the priorities of film. While the asph and apo lenses create amazing color and brilliance they also can render some subject with a harshness..even the out of focus areas look sharp. With digital, new renderings from old lenses seem to be interesting. The noctilux and the pre asph 50 both seem to retain sufficient aberrations to create a different signature. Do you have a favorite "special " lens.
