You are speaking about the 35fle in an enthusiastic way. In my opinion that is partly justified - as long we don't involve bokeh or "sharpness" over the field in the discussion.
Really, I have no experience from the current FLE version of the 35 Lux-M. I have tried (during one day, doing controlled comparisons to the CV35/1.2 on a Nex.5) one copy of the 35 ASPH non-FLE and then bought another copy. They both behaved the same and stopped down to f/5.6 they did like this:

(The above is the Leica official MTF for the 35mm Summilux-M ASPH non-FLE at f/5.6.)
You can see that the two ASPH versions perform very similar to each other. Here is, again, what I found at the link to diglloyd you gave us:
And again, I don't think that is great. I don't want to sometimes be able to mitigate the dip effect by thanks to some special focusing technique. I want the darn image to be sharp border to border at f/5.6 and then I want to be allowed to focus on the composition instead.
As the FLE version draws background out of focus details in a harsh way I've never been interested in the lens. The first ASPH version made beautiful, or very beautiful, images when it worked, which it doesn't really do for all sorts of images.
I guess we simply disagree.

I didn't give you the Llyod's link. You must quote me wrong.
But I agree with you about both Pre-FLE and FLE have similar performance at f5.6 with a notch better with FLE. It is actually a good news for me if I got 35lux, pre-FLE will be the one I pick. (before I had concern about its strong FC)
I feel the MTF picture I took from Leica pocket book might be from real measurement for pre-FLE, since there is no f4 data in official data sheet. the curve itself also looks from photodo.
I revisit Denoir's post: the illustrated shot took marked at f4.8, it could be f2.8 or f4 based on my experience with Leica M. So, this make it more reasonable to believe that FC is the problem for that pic at that aperture. From any angle to view, it is a good illustration and well educated post.
But given f5.6 MTF from 35lux FLE and picture Carsten R show along with a bunch I can find from internet, I stand by my conclusion 35lux will be a good landscape lens.
My post has been focused on this 35lux, but reality is the FE35 is a great performer at 1/6 of price. better than any other 35mm lens I have used. with A7R, my copy show impressive cross frame sharpness with only 'extreme' corner lag.
The new sony Zeiss really define a new benchmark for landscape use. aperture only control DOF, but not performance.
