Thanks Fred, and I agree with your analysis. Though I don't have a problem adding a filter to slightly affect a lens and take the digital edge off.
Of course let's not forget the LLL 11873 is 1/4 price of the new FLE, and 40-60 grams lighter- which is really nice for walk around and travel- actually both points.
I hope to see more portrait/fashion work comparing the 2 lenses... but do agree each has a unique presentation.
