Super review Jono! As always.Hi Everyone

Did you see the reporting on the newer Nikon lenses being shown at CP+? They look to be comparable in size to the Panasonic, Leica, and Sigma lenses.Super review Jono! As always.
But what this shows me is a trend contra the fact that we started seeing all these BIG mirrorless FF lenses. This lens seems to be not small, but it at least is much smaller than the 1.4 counterparts (comparing mostly to the 1.4/50 lenses from Leica and Panasonic). This makes me hope that one can build a FF mirrorless system also with reasonable size.
The M APO 2/90 2/75 and 2/35 were already a killer combination for me, so I assume that this new 2.0 APO lens line for the L-mount will be pretty similar, while a bit bigger but with AF. This makes me hope that one day I will be mature to get back to the SL (or at least a L-mount camera) with such lenses.

I quite agree Tre - the bokeh, and especially the transition is much nicer on these lenses than on their M equivalents, but I think Leica are really hitting the nail on the head by making f2 lenses as good as they can possibly be, and this seems to be it.Thanks for sharing.
The 35 APO-Cron seems to have everything I loved about the M version and more judging by your shots. The M version was good enough that I sold my 35 Lux in exchange for the 35 Cron and the Voigtlander 35/1.2 Nokton II and still had money left over afterwards.
I have no doubt the lens will be uber expensive but judging by the lowlight capability of the newest Panasonic/TowerJazz sensors which seem to be useable up to ISO 51,200 for actual photography, the f/2 aperture may not matter much for most things.
