My advice for you, then, as you consider this a proper test of the two
systems, would be to sell your Summilux 35 ASPH ASAP!!!! Just think, you
will get a chunk of change you can invest in taking more pictures :-)) For
me, I love my Summilux 35 (pre-ASPH) just as much as my wife loves our
Stylus ... the Stylus takes terrific photos as well. Perhaps the Leica is
not suited to your style of photography.
