Default Re: Summaron-M 35mm f/3.5 for M2

I have a 35/ 2,8 Summaron s/n 1922727 with the eyes. I purchased it about the same time I bought my M3 (a month ago). I have taken some wonderful images with this lens. Very clean and suprisingly crisp, but not 'cron sharp. It has a wonderful "old shoe" feeling about it. It hides the era of the image if there's no obvious teltale content, like a new model car, store.... I had been searching for a moderately priced (haha) late model Summilux 1.4 pre-ASPH. I got it and love the unique signature of this lens. The bokeh is very special, particulary wide open in B&W. I'm thinking of selling the Summaron as retaining it seems redundant. Is that a good idea? I paid $384 for the Summaron (probably too much) but it's in great shape and got my money's worth from the images.
