I was especially impressed with the 35/2.0. I had heard that it was a good lens - but it was better than I expected. I believe that it is a better lens, in some respects, than the 35/2.0-M lenses, which is one of my favorites. I saw very little coma with the R lens, virtually non, into the corners - much more with the M. I think that the 35 is a very versatile lens. I also was surprised with the 24 - made by Minolta I believe with Leica controls. It was very sharp and contrasty. I didn't have these too long but I really like both of them Dick Hemingway Norman, OK
