It's a good lens for the money but not outstanding. I've used one quite a bit. Usually no more than $250-$400 on ebay. Negatives...40mm filter, no focusing tab, $75.00 for screwmount adaptor. The six element Summicron German or Canadian (1969-1974) $650-$850 has better color and contrast, at a higher price. Also I like the Summaron 35 2.8 better at $500-$650. One interesting alternative is the Canon 35 2.8. A great lens with a focusing tab., I find it sharper and more Leica like than the 35 f2 Canon and usually around $ 200. IIf you don't need the extra stop try one. I use one on my IIIG all the time. Joe Kelly jjkelly@planetkc.com
