The 28mm Hektor is not a glorious lens in hind sight. It is a favourite with the collectors as it was Leitz's widest lens for some years. Of course it says Leitz on it which gives it a certain reverence, don't expect cracking sharpness though, esp. at large(!) apertures. The f5.6 replacement was a much better lens, though is more expensive now. The 35/3.5 Summaron is a decent performer but I believe was modified during production, so look for a later one if possible. I have used the f2.8 version and found it a terrific lens. I have a very affordable 28mm Komura lens I could sell you, sadly the performance is attrociuos! I have a 35/2.8 Canon lens as well if required.
