A year ago, I was on a seminar in Gothenburg, discussing Leica M use. There I met a photographer, who was very impressed with this lens. He told me, that every time he was assigned to make a big enlargement, he borrowed this 35 mm lens from a friend. He thought it was better than all the other variants (the Summicron Asph was not aviliable then). The last time he used it was when he made an enlargement as large as the wall, inside a bank office. I have been thinking about his high regards about this lens, but I cannot find any info about it on the web. Erwin Puts does not mention this version at all. Any opinions?
