I used the Ultron for a couple of weeks (on trial) and found it large in comparison, results were great though. It depends on what you want, speed or compactness, price or performance?

Next up is a 35mm lens, and, for a while, I'm going to be on a bit of a budget. I'd like to get the pre-ASPH Summicron, but, but would also like to have a 35 to use in the mean time. Today it was suggested that a Summaron might be a nice addition to the collection, and I was thinking also that a Voigtlander 35/1.7 might also be a good choice. What's the group's wisdom on these lenses? - -- Shel Belinkoff mailto:belinkoff@earthlink.net
