David mon ami,
Interesting to read this, as I too have a Nokton Voigtlander 35mm Aspheric f 
1.2 lens for the M camera.

I ordered  it to use during our shooting of the book "Womwn in Medicine." 
Unfortunately it arrived just after we'd completed our North American 
medical women lives.

I used it the other day, like brand new out of the box, because it's been on 
the shelf for what must be a couple of years. And I used it with an M8!! :-) 
Incredibly beautiful rendering and sharpness to die for!

Absolutely amazing quality! Quite frankly for the cost it's a sleeper lens 
of incredible quality. I suppose the fact it's an Aspheric lens may have 
something to do with how sharp it is.

I'd defy anyone to use it, then tell me it wasn't a Leica lens! ;-) 
Certainly with an M8! Amazing!
