As in the title.:)

And a question: should I prefer a canon 35/2 over a skopar 35/2.5?

You should prefer the Ultron over the Canon :)

I like the size of the CS 35/2.5. It's a very capable lens. Some find it too contrasty, which I would agree that it is indeed contrasty and sharp. It's very nicely priced and a great size. On a M4-P, it slides nicely into a jacket pocket.

Well, if we're going to open this up to slightly slower lenses, there's also the Canon 35/2.8 to consider, as well as the Leica 35/2.8 Summaron.

You can use Alikis, Robert, and Roland's Flickr M-Group for images. Here's the Canon page (http://www.flickr.com/groups/m-mount/discuss/72157600006082670/).

Don't have photos handy but EXCELLENT lens. You would be very wise to buy one.

I seem to remember some images taken with this lens showing it to have the infamous "fish scale" bokeh on oof specular highlights/lights. (????) If you plan on using it wide open a lot in this type of condition maybe that's a consideration. I've only had mine for about two weeks, and I've only shot with it stopped down.

Here's a favorite from my gallery:

The flare at the top is probably partly the sensor (R-D1) rather than the lens. I have seen examples of fish-scale bokeh on this site, but not in my work.

Small, light, very good.

I think size is completely different... And I'm a small-size-lenses guy. :)

Here's a few shots from the well-used Canon 35/2 that I used to have. I'll definitely find another example in the future, as it was a really neat, compact lens that produced good results. I suggest that anyone using this lens be ABSOLUTELY sure that your fingers are out of the way. The lens is so compact, that when I first started using it, I had several frames with the lower right corner blocked off. A small hood would probably help this, as well as reducing flare from this classic wide-angle Canon.
