How good is it etc. I have been using the 35mm R Summicron (current, pre-ROM version) for about a year now, and I am very pleased with it. The lens is very sharp with good contrast and excellent tonal qualities, and it doesn't seem particularly prone to flare (although I always extend the lens hood). I put off buying the 35 for my R cameras for several years, as I have that focal length available for my M cameras. Now I'm glad I finally broke down and bought the R version. It's one of the least expensive R lenses, and can be readily found in the used market. Vahan
