I wonder if anyone could tell me please, how much bigger is the summicron 35 R lens than a summicron M 35? I want one for use on an SL and am attracted (of course) by the price of Rs. Whichever I use I have to use a mount adapter.

Maybe someone will be able to post a photo of both together. I'd say approximately twice as large, but probably a better fit for the SL. 

 

There are two Summicron R 35's. The earlier version is larger/heavier and takes series filters or 48mm thread, but I love its rendering. The later version has the built in hood. The Elmarit R 35 is also worth considering.

Quick iPhone shot. The M lens is the Cron v4, the R lens is the one with 55mm thread.  Big difference, but the R lens balance well on the SL.
