This reminded me that I picked up an Olympus OM 135/3.5 a few months back. I really haven't played with it much. This lens is sharp but not the sharpest and suffers from chromatic abberation as well. I don't know about flare but I would expect there to be some. Nonetheless, for $40, it can fill a niche and I like the size and weight. I should compare with the Minolta!
Here's two images the panorama is a stitch from 6 images at f/11. Not too shabby especially for the price.

After a quick research, I found a Minolta MD 35-70mm f/3.5 Macro at 160 euro and a Contax N 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5 at 390 euro... any more suggestions? I pay attention at flare resistance because is the only defect of my wonderful Canon FDn 35mm f/2
Thanks in advance.160 euro is far to much for the Minolta MD 35-70 zoom.
If you look around, you can buy them for around € 60,--
I bought mine even for € 40,--
A quick search I saw one on ebay with not such a good condition on the outside for € 40,-
BTW I prefer the Contax N zoom!Thanks Michiel... I will do a better search... 40 euro sounds veeeeery good 
Could you tell me which adapter do you use for your 24-85?
I use the Kipon adapter. Manuel but with electronic exif info and in camera diafragm control.
Very strange but I can't find not one Kipon adapter anymore on Ebay
One from today; late light view over Ijmuiden.

Nice images on this page. I have a question to ask everyone who may have experience. I should probably ask on the Leica M page, but since I don't have an M body, I'm asking here!
I'm looking into a Summilux M 50 pre-ASPH, preferably the E43 Mandler version, but not discounting the E46, either. I love Jack's pics with his ASPH, but can't afford that one. Can anyone provide input...and, btw, I'm keeping my Nokton 50 1.5 ASPH, too. I'm not too concerned with corners as I plan to use it WO-2.8 more than not...
I hear lots of debates over "Mandler vs non-Mandler"...but if anyone has definitive input, I'd love to hear it!!
Thanks,
Gregg

Could you please tell me more about that lens? Which exact model I have to search on the Bay? Thanks in advance.
Regards - Manuel
Manuel, I have a fairly common Minolta MD 35-70/3,5 Macro. I have also owned a non-macro version of the same lens with no noticeable difference in image quality. The 3.5 aperture is constant. I believe there is also an F/4 version. As others have stated, the lens is very much like the Leica-R lens of the same specification.

ManuelLaMantia... I too have the MD 35-70/3.5 macro. It's a fantastic lens!! My Contax 35-70 was slightly better, but not by much. And the price/performance ratio is exceedingly high!
Here are a few shots from today with the Contax G90. Doing a family photo shoot in an old apple orchard today, with natural props!

@Tim Nice to have this extra information.
@Michiel I will search in this direction... maybe I can find price of new Kipon from others sellers.
@Dale Yes, I found several versions but seems the Macro is the better choice.
@Gregg You are completely right... The price of MD is very convenient... especially after Michiel research
Thanks everyone for all information provided.

Great shots everyone!
triton3k; your refreshing PP reminds me to use VSCO and Replichrome more often. Looking forward to see your newer images.

This thread is certainly no cure for G.A.S. First, Jack posts all those wonderful pictures from China with 50 ASPH Lux and now Bob keeps posting those excellent pictures with the Rokkor 58 1.2. Those pictures really make me thing hard about getting a second, fast 50mm prime.

I have no first hand experience with the pre-ASPH Summilux 50, but if they are similar to the 75 Lux I would think both versions are perfectly fine, probably slightly soft with that famous glow wide open, and then sharp a few stops down. Also, I could be wrong, but the MFD and the filter size changed over the years, but otherwise the two versions aren't that different from what I understand.
I have some experience with two Mandler lenses, though: I own the Elmarit 90 2.8 and I've briefly rented the Lux 75. I personally find the bokeh of the Mandler-designed lenses way superior to that of my CZ 55 1.8 which sometimes displays the infamous onion ring bokeh.
I don't know whether these are good examples, but anyways here goes:
