Indeed, this lens is quite special. I chose it because of all the problems with fast M lenses shifting focus (except for the very modern and very expensive ones). I won't get the shallowest DOF on earth, but since there's very little spherical aberration; the DOF is "well defined" and the separation remains good.
It also has sort of the same special transition between focus and out-of-focus as the 35/2 Distagon that I like so much. The details melts away just behind the DOF while local contrast begins to decay a bit further away. Maybe this is the whole "3D" thing?
Why choose it over the ZM 35/2? Cost?

Size, weight, cost, flare resistance, and the fact that the 35/2.8 actually seemed a better lens if you don't need the extra stop, with lower curvature of field, less focus shift and less distortion. The smooth bokeh in combination with high contrast is an unusual combination that I saw in many examples.

I've always been wanting the fastest possible lenses, forgetting that the slower ones usually are better corrected for aberrations. I'm not gonna use the M8 for low light anyway, so I think I made a very good choice.

I like it. Especially how it renders the street signs in the background.

Cool Gary I love the swirl. I think you meant 75-150 Series E.

Bifurcator

Nice bokeh, you'll need to specify which lens so Jonas is able to update the index.
