I can only comment on 2 35's for the M. The first is the Tri Elmar: at 
35 this lens seems to be at its best, but its not really a replacement 
for the Summicron. The other is the 35 Summilux asph. and this is a 
fabulous lens. Bokeh is hard to define, but I have never felt unhappy 
with the in or out of focus areas rendered by this lens. I was steered 
away from its pre-asph cousin. I have a 35 Summicron for the R: its 
also superb.
