The 35 Summarit is not a high contrast lens. Contrast is somewhere between IV and ASPH. On an M8 it is perfect and blown highlights are not a problem.
The IV may be an f2 lens but I rarely used mine below f2.8 due to veiling glare and low resolution. The Summarit is superb at f2.5 (really f2.4). And flare and bokeh are both better with the Summarit.
