Sorry I can't speak for the Nikon and Canon RF lenses but a better choice
would be the later 35 3.5 Summaron.  Of course you will need a separate
viewfinder for your M3 and if you want the Leitz version be prepared to
pay several hundred dollars for it.  I would not be surprised if you
could find an RF Summaron 2.8 (with "eyes") or even a bespectacled
Summicron for a reasonable price which would perform better and not
require the auxiliary finder.  

Regards,
Nigel
