Thanks, Bill and Godfrey.  That would probably be my choice, too, but I am
trying to
satisfy my budget, so I am limiting my choices to the non-ASPH group of
Leica offerings (near-mint, used).

My vote goes for the 35 Summilux ASPH.  Sharper than sharp, and fast, too!
Just a little bulky.  I had a 35 Summicron ASPH as well, but I like my
Summilux better, so I sold the 'cron.  BTW, Erwin told me in Chicago that
both 35 ASPH's are the same optical design, but the Summicron just has a
smaller maximum aperture.
