But if you really want compact and do not mind a non-Leica lens, then I would recommend that you take a look at the Voigtlander 2.5/35mm. It comes in a "classic" or normal version, similar in size to the non-ASPH Summicron, or a "pancake" version, which is extremely short. I have a "classic" for when I want to travel really light, and it performs very very well, I would say fully on par with a non-ASPH Summicron.
