While it is lower in contrast then the Summilux Asph for instance, I find it's very smooth and detailed. Photos taken with it are wonderful. There are a few on list that use it all the time. I can't speak of the 35/2.8 Summaron but I did test two very clean 3.5 versions (LTM and M version with goggles) just yesterday. The M8 brutally shows their very low contrast. They can be made to look fair by using the auto levels feature in Photoshop but without manipulation I wouldn't use them. I have never used the other two lenses.
