You need to stop down to get reasonable results. You need a tripod and a level. The diaphragm is not coupled and I thought 35mm was not enough for architecture. I also had the Summicron 35, it's a very fine lens. If you "do" architecture go for the modern PC 28. The contrast is higher than the older model, the handling is muuuuuch better AND it's a 28... If you don't need the shift controls, the Summicron 35 is a wonderful lens.
