But it is generally regarded as one of Leica's best lenses.  I was
perfectly happy with my 35/1.4 which was one the first lenses I got, but I
also bought a 35 Summicron in 2007 after everybody at the Leica seminars
raved about it.  I was surprised at the difference in color rendition.
It's also much lighter than the Summilux and easier to carry - almost
invisible.

I didn't pay anywhere near what it costs now, though!!
