I did quite a bit of research before committing to the pre FLE, I don\'t think the FLE is boring but it is definitely more modern. There\'s more pop especially at closer focusing distances and less glow. The pre asph has a ton of glow but I find it too soft and I already have lots of classic lenses. The pre FLE was a good compromise for my style of shooting, it still has the Mandler look and performs admirably stopped down.

And since we\'re on the topic of lenses... Does anyone else on here find the 35 Summilux-FLE to be a tad boring? I mean, it\'s a good lens, I just find it a bit more boring then the 35 Summilux-ASPH pre-fle I use to own.
Trying to figure out why... I can\'t seem to put my finger on it. Thoughts? Any one disagree?
I have not owned either, but I when I looked at buying one, I came to the same conclusion - I prefer the rendering of the pre-FLE.

Silver has more brass, that\'s why it\'s heavier.. So technically it\'s built \"better\"
Katie - As mentioned the ASPH version has been around for a while, never replaced though, try to find one that\'s six bit coded and you should be good. You can look up serial numbers, but I don\'t think it\'s really that necessary if the lens is in good condition.
