" The SUMMILUX is about the amazing sharpness of the focal plane and the big bokeh of the background. But, it sometimes generates rough back bokeh, which is also one attractive character for interesting effects. The Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 1.4/35 ZM simply captures the reality. It's not unusual like the SUMMILUX, but the realistic drawing will enhance shooters' motivation. And, I think it's a wonderful and difficult thing to realize. So, I can't say which one is better than the other, but they show the difference of philosophy. If you want stable results in all situation, the Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 1.4/35 ZM is your best partner."
