I wish I really liked my 35 3.5 Summaron. When used against the light it flares badly and washes ourt the picture.

Here is an example shot taken with the Summaron f/3.5 (LTM E39 version). Nothing was done to enhance the picture. These lenses are readily available and inexpensive. I had this one cleaned a few years ago for about GBP 25, and it's great for certain situations and/or looks. I've also got an early version of the Summicron (M mount), which is sharper and more contrasty to my eye. All depends on your priorities.
