I have collected Chasseur d'Images lens tests for Leica M and R since the beginning of this year. So far, they have recently tested the following lenses: Elmarit-M 24 f/2.8 ASPH Summicron-M 35 f/2.0 Summicron-M 35 f/2.0 ASPH Summicron-M 50 f/2.0 Elmarit-R 28 f/2.8 Summilux-R 35 f/1.4 Summicron-R 50 f/2.0 Elmarit-R 90 f/2.8 Apo-Macro Elmarit-R 100 f/2.8 Apo-Summicron-R 180 f/2.0 Elmarit-R 180 f/2.8 Vario-Elmar-R 80-200 f/4.0 As far as the Summicron-M 35 f/2.0 is concerned, here are the results: - - optical performance: 4 stars (out of a possible 5) - - price/quality rating: 2 stars - - c=F4te d'amour (subjective rating of how they like this lens): 3 stars. Chasseur d'images was disappointed about the lens' results wide open at the corners and borders. Otherwise they said that it is a good lens, but at an outrageous price. Pascal Belgium
