Subject: [Leica] about summicron 2/35mm

As there is some discussions about the summicron, here's my experience

I bought a new one in early 1992 and found it disappointing and not worth its
price..
Well, it's not really bad, but if I want sharpness, I use another camera.
Good contrast and colors, but unsufficient sharpness, always have to use it between
f/4 and f/8 if I want good pictures.
I never could get a really  good 30x40 enlargement.
(my Canon FD 2/35 is much sharper.)
but it gives good slides for projection...

By the way, does anyone knows if a f 3,5/35 summaro would be better at f/11 or f/16
?
