I like very much this lens, with film (B&W) it gave me very rich range of grey with very nice smooth contrast, at f 1.4 is not a very sharp and contrasted lens, but for me it does his job, I like too that it is very small. Compared with the Summicron 35 (IV) this one is more sharp and contrasted, it is also a lens I like very much. With the M8 the Lux 35 perform particularly well, it is the usual lens I have always attached. I'm not a technical man in the sense that I don't take care about many technical concepts, what I'm interested is how the lens shows the atmosphere I like in my pictures. If I compare it with the Summilux 50 (year 1967) the 50 is better wide open or at high apertures, it is more "crispy". Probably every one of us has different motivations to find with a lens, for my own use I'm very happy with my older lenses Thanks for looking ad for your kind comment!
