Elijah, I think you should try the 35Lux FLE but don't sell your 35Cron yet. I won't be surprised if you keep both
If you want smooth bokeh and f/1.4 and small size, look at the previous (pre-FLE) 35 Lux ASPH. Otherwise for wedding or photo-journalism, consider the 28Lux - it sharper than the 35FLE (and many other current Leica ASPH lenses) wide open and has smoother bokeh
28mm is officially out of the picture. The 28mm FOV itself doesn't click with me.
I've owned the Nikon 28mm f/1.8G a few times as well as the 28mm f/1.4E - I just couldn't click with the 28mm; there's not enough compression for me.
35mm is my favorite lens of all time... I'm just wishing for the 1.4 more than anything. just ask @blakehfreeman he'll tell ya
I really do love my 35 cron and I just need to stop thinking about the 35 summilux's in general.
My next purchase will be the 50mm for sure.

I give Elijah 2 weeks before he caves and picks up the 35mm 1.4 Summilux 😂. I think most in the Nikon Forum were surprised to learn he even knew "F2" was a thing until he picked up an M10.
Edit: great shots in this thread! Happy shooting everyone!

I doubt he will be disappointed if he does pick one up.

I got my hands on a 35 FLE (or I will have it soon enough) and I happen to still have the Zeiss 35 1.4 ZM so I'm going to try them side-by-side and make my choice of which I prefer. I suspect I may prefer the rendering of the Zeiss but the size / handling / ergonomics of the Leica (just a guess).

great images, guys.
I had a few days trip to China last week, only brought 15VCIII, 21SEM, 50lux, 90APO and RX1.
Here is one from 90APO

This is what Moriyama Daido calls a “no finder shot”: I held the camera in front of my chest after I set the focus and shutter speed. Because the background at the right is very bright, 3-4 stops brighter than the university student, I underexposed her by about ½ stop — that was sufficient not to blow out any highlights. This shows how well modern camera sensors can handle highlights. On the other hand, the background on the left is a tinted mirror with a somewhat wavy surface, as you can seen the reflection of the building behind the main subject. The scene is just before the Siam station of the Bangkok Skytrain, where the elevated pedestrian walkway that runs along several high end shopping malls joins the station platform.

Thanks, Joakim. It seems that the more I like a picture the fewer people on flickr like it. In this case, many viewers will interpret the young woman's look as antagonistic. It wasn't. When I took the picture I was walking, without stopping, just having come around the corner and pressed the shutter as she looked up from her smart phone and, when I looked straight into her eyes, she broke into a huge smile. Just after I passed her — she was already looking down at her smart phone —I turned around and spoke to her and told her she had a great smile and asked to take another picture: in that moment she opened her mouth in surprise that I was speaking fluent Thai; I also like this second picture, from one meter away.
Thai is one of those languages, like Danish, in which people know whether you really can speak the language after you say only a few words. Several years ago I was in a Danish restaurant in Bangkok that, on new year's day, serves a smørrebrød buffet for 1 baht (about 3 US cents — you pay for the beer and the akvavit). Standing at the buffet, I spoke to a Dane who was standing next to me: I said to him in Danish, "Looks like there are only Scandinavians here." He immediately responded to me — in Swedish, having detected from the few words I spoke in Danish that I was a Swedish-speaker. But whenever I say a few words in Danish, I can't myself hear a Swedish undertone to my Danish...
