What is your favorite 35mm lens M & SM?

[machineage111]

Here are mine:

For M

35 Summilux early chrome with Ollux (not at 1.4)

35 Summaron 2.8

40 Summicron f2 With Voigtlander finder.

For Leica Screwmount Or M with adaptor.


35 2.8 Summaron

35 2.8 Canon

35 2.5 Nikkor

35 Voigtlander Scopar


Obviously speed is not the defining issue for me. I have tried about every 35 on the market, except for the new Zeiss. I just love the way the above render images in good light. Nothing scientific, no MTF curves. Size annd weight are also a big issue with me. I do not like heavy lenses on my Leica's

Thanks,

I go the simple route, just one lens, with the Leica 35 M adapter.

I use my 2nd generation Canon 35/2, and am very pleased with the results. When the lens isn't on the M3, or a Barnack, it usually sits on my Canon P.

I will take the current 35mm asph summilux over anything else out there.
The summicron asph is a nice runner up for me and the Biogon comes in third.

M mount: Konica M-Hexanon 35/2. It's the one I have, and I like it. Its probably my second most-used lens.

For LTM (usually with LTM to M adaptor, but sometimes on my Canon P), I really like my Konica UC Hexanon 35/2, although its a bit more "quirky" than the M-Hexanon (and a very different lens). Wide open, its wonderful!

I have a Summaron 35/2.8 but haven't made enough opportunities to really get familiar with it.
