The only criticism is that I find the focus tab difficult to get used to as this is not the only camera/lens combo I have and switching between lenses is a PITA because they lack consistency in focus ring/tabs.

That's why I love the Summarit 2.5 35 & 50 with my M10. The bodies and focus tabs are identical, so easy to switch.

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

Updating this thread with the new 35/2.0 Ultron type II versions in black and white, proper tab instead of lever, and 35/2.0 APO Lanthar.

I have the skopar, its an amazing lens for the price, and so small.... even though i have better lenses, i prefer to take it out given the size...some samples below with the m10:

Maybe a little bit late, but maybe for use to later view.

I have/had Ultron 35mm F1.7, Ultron 35mm F2, Ultron 40mm F2, Nokton 35mm 1.4

 

I think Ultron 35mm F2 is much better than Skopar 35mm, if you shoot at 2.8 to 8,

Ultron is a little bit smoother while Skopar is quite harsh, size is quite the the same, if you like very sharp than skopar is better but out of focus area is harsh 

If you like bokeh and shooting wide open wit extrem center sharpens the Ultron 35mm 1.7 is unbeaten, creamy bokeh and 3D Pop

I did not like the Nokton, to soft and much CA, for B+W o.k. but CA is very disturbing in color photos

Ultron 40mm is the best of the bunch but for Nikon or Cannon Mount or adapted for mirrorless, maybe to sharp like Summicron 35mm ASPH

When I shoot on film. Even a wide open aperture of 3.5 is too much for daytime photography. 1.4 does not help in the evening. 

Film loves Light. 

I would choose a small lens with a classic pattern. But without the crimson edges.
