I have just purchased this tiny little lens and I find it great. It's very compact, a little bit slow, but I find the colour reproduction to be excellent.

 

Does anyone have any advice as to how to code it on the M9 ? I have been using the setting of the Summicron Asph.

 

Here are a first few photos taken with it. Nothing of artistic value but it can give you an idea of how the lens renders the scene.

I also coded this lens as a pre-ASPH Summicron 35. I like this lens so much I went ahead and remove the flange and used a Dremel to make the six recesses, then filled those with black and white Rustoleum paint.

 

Great lens, no complaints.

I originally coded it manually as a 35mm Summicron pre-ASPH. I then bought Tim Isaac's Decoder 2.0 kit and coded it as a 35mm Summarit. Both work well, and I'm not sure that there's a noticeable difference in IQ between both codes (at least that I've seen in the two weeks I've owned it).

This lens is tremendous - I love everything about it.
