I'm easily influenced 😞.

So looking better at your requirement, Kengai , for travelling purpose, I'd be inclined for the Summicron35mm II or III .

I use over time all 35mm Summicron for M ( I - IV and asph. "I", exception the very last asph. version), and for travelling, I'd pick the version II/III for it's very well built and tiny.

This is the toughest built 35mm Summicron with brass and all (the Summarit-M is light and good but may suffer in the long run).

The "IV" is not so tough : I had some trouble with the famous "front ring turn, hood not aligned" some years ago, but easily repairable.

 

Here the kind of rendering at wide open with this 35mm Summicron II
