The way I have always looked at this issue is that the Summicron 35/2,
newest version, is the closest Leica makes to a perfect lens. If you
need some other attribute, such as wider aperture, different focal
length, closer focus, different bokeh, lower price, etc, you can give up
some of that perfection in return for the feature that you need. But in
terms of absolute photographic rendition, the Summicron 35 has in my
opinion always been their best lens.
