I use an A36 to Summitar filter adapter for my UV/ IR filter which is custom made from an E39 filter and Summitar filter frame. I think the Summaron is pretty sharp, except for the corners up to about f11. I have a Jupiter-12 which I think is better, especially in the corners. You have a LTM Summicron 35? That's a rare bird.
