The copy I have says 35/2.0 and it is a 12585H. I have used it on my 35/1.4 with no vignetting, even at 1.4.>> You can check for any lens shade caused vignetting by looking through the rear inspection door of your Leica Ms or opening the back of other cameras. Open the lens to its wides aperture. Put your eye near the corner of the frame and look through the lens. If you can see the edge of the lens shade, there will be some vignetting at that lens opening. Vignetting will diminish as the lens is closed down. Unfortunately this doesn't work with LTM Leicas.
