To my eye in the flickr images referred, the Leica 11873 seems much sharper at the point of focus, better micro contrast, just all in all a tighter image. Similarities in bokeh, etc.. but, at least to me.. the Leica 11873 is a different animal.

I was looking through a gallery of images from the original Leica 35mm f/1.4 Double Aspherical on Flickr, and it really confirmed how closely the Light Lens Lab version matches it in both rendering and performance.

I am with you on this. I see those as that Fred linked to as having appreciably higher microcontrast and pop generally, especially at WO than what has been posted even at web size. Not saying it’s better or worse, but I think the images have more separation and cleaner feel.

I’d love to see a proper comp
