You're talking about the rangefinder lens I use most often - a
screw-mount 35mm f2.8 Summaron. It's the focal length I find most
useful for general photography, and I've never had any problems with
image quality when using it on the IIIg or M2. However I have found it
very prone to flare when used on the M6. I'll pass that particular
mystery to Solms next time I'm over there.
