The ones from the 35 f1.4 aspherical are lovely, this was always my favourite lens by far, reason alone to get the M8 - I am delighted. My 50s both f1.4 an f1 may need to go away for recalibration though, after loads of OOF pix I took some check pictures which show them both focusing about 5" behind the point of rangefinder coincidence. I will check all my lenses first to make sure it is not the camera and I am getting away with it on WA lenses because of the greater DoF. Boring.
