New Zeiss or used M?

Might be worth 'pretending' it's a 28mm Leica lens as Zeiss has always preferred that setting for its 35 2.8 lens, for instance.

As I said before, Zeiss suggests to code the Distagon as a Summicron 28 or Elmarit 28 Asph (and not as an Elmarit 28 v3/v4 like they advice to do with Biogons...)

 

However the lens is very well corrected by itself and does not really need a profile, so you can set the entire thing to Off if you want...

Thanks everyone. Will take some test shots and see how things look.

judging from what lenses you are proposing here

there is a world of difference in lens signature

between the ZM 35/1.4 and the 35/2.0 Asph. ( or any other 35 Summicron )

 

so please allow me to propose a much more worldly approach:

 

the ZM Biogon 35/2.0

 

but then you could also opt for the new Voigtlander 1.7/35

0.5m close focus range .... I would not want to miss that on the SL
