[Leica] Experiences with 35/3.5 Elmar and 35/3.5 Summaron

[dlr at dlridings.se (Daniel Ridings)]

I am toying with the idea of picking up a compact 35mm lens for a Leica 
IIIf or IIIc. The way photography is working out, I end up using a 
digital outfit for quite a lot, but want to have a 400 b/w body along 
for the ride. The screwmount Leicas work out nicely for this and the 
50/3.5 Elmar is a good companion.

I'd like a 35 mm that compares with the collapsed Elmar when it comes to 
size and that leads me to these two lenses (in the subject line).

I would expect that the 35/3.5 Elmar is not much of a performer. I've 
never really heard anyone saying much good about it (not much bad 
either). I suppose that it is a piece of glass reflecting its day and age.

Anyway, if anyone has experiences with these, I'd appreciate hearing it. 
I know about watching for haze and stuff like that.

This will be for b/w, of course. I've mentioned that.
