This lens looks very nice. Nice sharpness, contrast and tonal range.  
It also appears to focus properly on the M8. I've been looking for a  
faster 35mm and this one may be it. But I wished it were a screw  
mount version so I could use it on my LTM bodies. I've been enjoying  
shooting film these days and especially these classic Leicas.  Does  
anybody know how this lens compares with the  f1.7 Ultron? I like the  
fact that it uses 39mm filters ( the Ultron) as well.
