I now notice that the Summicron shot is not up to par, maybe I did something different with this shot. This is from an other Summicron v1, and it looks better to me (sample variation ?) Both had a CLA.

follow-up:

Lost in the 50mm jungle inbetween, then found a limited Heliar Classic 50mm f2, which renders more like the rigid Summicron. No glow like the preAsph 35mm, but also has a very classic rendering, which should be even more suitable for street photography. 

Will ad later a Summilux v1 or v3 to match the preAsph 35mm for dreamy portraits and more vintage characteristics wide open. Took a very long look at the Heliar 1.5 which is a superb lens for the price, but it's a tad to soft and glowy for my taste.

thanks @all again !

Which 50mm from Leica would you pair with the 35mm pre-Asph Summilux? Except the Summarit 1.5/50, which would be to much of character for me. 

I went through the same path sometime ago and I picked the NIKKOR-S 5cm f1.4 LTM (too bad, not from Leica) to pair with my 35 Lux pre-asph V2. 

Here are some pics for your reference. First Leica, second Nikkor, all at f1.4.

i found the all overall performance of the Heliar Classic f2 underwhelming, in combination with the quirky collapsible mechanism it had to go. I replaced it with a 50mm summicron Dual Range and found exactly the classical rendering I was looking for. Not exactly like the 35mm preAsph, but still very "retroish". I am sure this is a keeper, some day maybe combined with a Summilux, but for now i do love this combo!
