Vick if you look in the archives you'll find my opinion of this lens is 
not very high. K'chromes projected with the last generation Super 
Colorplan on a large screen revealed it shortcomings very clearly. A 50 
Summilux type II or 19 mm Elmarit type II it aint.

I've owned and sold *several* specimens of the 35/2.0 R, both type I and 
type II, and would not recommend it. If your budget stretches to it try a 
35mm Summilux R.
