I'm also interested if anyone has got their hands on the new Summicron 35mm. It's not yet available in HK/Beijing.

 

I'm a new M owner but longtime 35mm fan, and I'm wondering whether to wait for the new lens or just get the old. I'm not a huge fan of the rubber hood on the old one, but in the one photo i've seen of the new lenses from the side, the new metal hood on the Summicron 35mm looks huge and surely must block a fair portion of the viewfinder even with that 'vent'.

Is the hood really that big? Does it block the viewfinder?

many thanks

For the old 28 elmarit I see that the major difference vs. new on M240 is that the extreme extreme corners are smog-ed (last mm), while the new one are more equal across the frame.

 

However I see that in the center the old elmarit looks crispier.

 

So I guess instead of improvement, this would be more like a trade-off?  I have the old one but other than trying in the store I have not pull the trigger on the new one because I haven't discovered any major that worth the extra 2 grands.

 

Anyone find this too?
