Domande

Which blurs the background more, Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH. or Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 Pre-ASPH?

At the same subject framing, distant background blur scales with the entrance pupil diameter (focal length ÷ f-number). Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH. at f/1.4 has a 25.0 mm entrance pupil, while Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 Pre-ASPH at f/1.4 has a 25.0 mm entrance pupil.

How does working distance differ between Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH. and Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 Pre-ASPH?

For an upper-body portrait, Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH. stands 1.42 m from the subject (sharp zone 20 cm, from 1.33 m to 1.53 m), whereas Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 Pre-ASPH stands 1.42 m away (sharp zone 20 cm, from 1.33 m to 1.53 m).

How do the optical designs of Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH. and Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 Pre-ASPH compare?

Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH. uses 9 elements in 5 groups (US5161060A, effective focal length 35.4 mm at portrait distance). Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 Pre-ASPH uses 7 elements in 5 groups (FR1233449A, effective focal length 35.5 mm).
