Eric Welch,

First & foremost,  congrats on the R8 purchase & welcome back to Leica ;~)
!

            >>the 35 Summicron R is behind not only the 35 Summilux R<<

However, & not wanting to disagree with a great "shooter" like yourself;
per the BAS charts, it sure looks like like the R-"cron" is better, In
particular, the R-"cron" looks much better with regard to contrast. 

Granted, I've not had a chance to compare both; however, the MSG from
Lucien might suggest a similar conclusion, "After trying both I made the
opposite choice". 

Try to control your flamethrower ;~); just thought I'd share my opinion!
