Whilst the new 28mm R lens may be better than the old one the old one  
is still superb. The 35mm f2 has a truly excellent look, I know one  
photographer who considers it to be the best lens he has ever used.  
The current 50mm Summicrons for R and M use the same optical formula,  
the only physical differences being required for the mount. The 90mm  
f2.8 and f2 are also optically the same as the M versions.
