    UPDATE: Got a chance to meet with the Leica S Specialist Ben Ross (great guy!) today who was giving a Demo at Samy's with my good friend and local Leica Rep Tom Brichta.
    I showed up early and got to pick his brain for about 30 min.
    Luckily, he had both the 35 and 45 CS with him which I was able to mount on my S and take for a test drive.
    My sweet spot has always been 50mm and I found (very subjective) that the 35 was just a bit too wide for me. Yes, as others have confirmed the 45 is slightly heavier and bigger.
    The good news is that Tom found a 45 CS Demo that will be delivered to a local dealer (at discount) in the next couple of days.
    So the decision has been made and thank you all for your invaluable help. I hope this thread may help others trying to make the same decision in the future. Cheers!

    For anyone in the San Francisco Area that has any S questions or just interested in picking their minds, Ben and Tom will be at Samy's tomorrow Dec. 12 as well. Ben has quite a few CS lenses with him.

    Thank you mark and RVB. Excellent. Wonderful image.
    No worries about Raw images, I was going more for your gut or visceral reaction. You gave it to me. 😀

    Thanks for the shots Gage.

    RE: EXIF, I find that when I use “Save For WEB” in CS6 or CC, even when I click include EXIF, the software continues to strip it. 😡

    I believe in CS5 and below there wasn't even an option to maintain EXIF data.

    Thank you RVP.

    If stepping out and you could only carry one lens (may we put weight as a non-issue for the moment?), is there one you prefer over the other, lets say for portraiture?

    It seems the 35 may have the “potential” for a little more distortion at the edges being the wider of the two. (??) Would love for you to comment.

    Thanks for discussing the number of elements. Given the way the Leica PR people go on and on about the glass for the 45, with almost no mention of the glass on the 35, I was imagining there to be a significant difference in the number of elements, especially a difference of only 1. Thanks for clarifying.
