(or am I the only one without an ASPH. I have been using the Ultron for nearly two month now. I am very impressed by the lens. I don't know quite how to say this since it is very subjective, but it fits well with my other Leica lens. I was so impressed at the quality, that I next bought a Cosina 15/4. I was so impressed with it that I bought a Bessa R body. I guess I am on a path to duplicate my M system (when I say that the 35/1.7 fits in well, I mean with both my M lenses and my R-35/2. Other than the quality and fit, I also like the size. It is not a pancake lens. It is nearly the same size as a pre-M Summicron. I used that lens for years. So to me, it is totally comfortable and seems like an old friend. Regards, bill larsen
