Mike,

When I bought my M2, it came with a 35 f/3.5 Summaron-M. 
I thought it performed well, but then I bought a 50DR Summicron 
and the 50DR outperformed in every aspect the summaron. So I 
traded the summaron for a first generation 35 f/2 Summicron and I 
think it's far better.

I don't know if the 35/2.8 Summaron performs better than the 
35/3.5.

Best regards,

Xavier
