Vick it is my favourite wide on film Ms. It is also extremely compact for
its speed. Mine is in Solms getting the 6 bit treatment currently. I like it
very much. 
The new Elmarit is also very well reported. Look at what Lluis does with
his. However it is a stop slower of course. If you already have the
Summicron I recommend that you don't part with it.

On the M8, it assumes the role of a 35 on a film M. That makes it an
extremely useful and high performance lens.

Let me know if you'd like a big file.
I agree with those opinions rating this lens with the 90AA & 50 1.4 asph. On
the M8, I'd add the 75AA to that list.

I was reading over some threads on the 28mm f2 ASPH.

It sounds like a pretty good lens, one of Leica's legendary performers, like
the 90AA and 50/1.4 ASPH.

Is that so?

I bought it because it had a good crop-factor for the M8, and was thinking
of selling it since the M8 is gone to its new owner.

Maybe I'll keep the 28 ASPH and shoot with it a bit.
