I've been a satisfied user of the 35/75 (plus 21) combo for years. 
And, since I got an f/1.4 aperture for little over half the price of 
an f/2 aperture, I'll stick with 1.4. Besides, I really like the 
images the 'lux produces. I'd like the lens better if it were 
smaller, but not if it had more of the Apo-aspheric look!
