Fantastic work everyone! I will have to single out Zhangyue's first two shots above. They're amazing!

Man, you guys are "killin it!!!" I swear I hope to start shooting again soon, or when I retire if not before, no ETA on that. Well, right now I sort of am itching to add a long end to my frozen in time Nikon Kit. My Leica 4 lens 2 body kit is also frozen in time, but I am ok with older tech, especially when it's not that old. M240 and original M Monochrome, and 3 Luxes and a Cron. 
I think that is living the good life. 
Good to see you Leica groupies...

Getting around to a processing some shots from a visit to the National Gallery of Art in Ottawa. A fair bit of straightening needed for these.

Joakim - How much research have you done on the 35 Summilux pre-ASPH? What do you think about v.1 vs v.2?
I just received v.2 for the M3 (with goggles), but am returning it because the goggles were misaligned vertically and did not align at infinity. That made focussing at f/1.4 unpredictable. Also, the front element assembly has a slight rattle and could be jiggled.
My interest in the lens, was to shoot it mostly at f/1.4, at least initially, with the M3 and sometimes with the M10. I should add that I would go for the goggle version because I want a lens with less than a 1m minimum focus.
I terms of aesthetics, I was interested in starting a project with a look related to some of the work of Michael Ackerman. In testing the lens I returned, I did get the look I was interested in some of the pictures, when the focus issues I mentioned above did not interfere.
As for the handling of the lens, the goggles seemed to darken the viewfinder image substantially and made access to the focus ring with the 12504 hood somewhat fiddly. Nevertheless, this should not be a problem if I shoot it without changing aperture often.
I have a Summilux 35 FLE that I've rarely shot at f/1.4, but I did yesterday for some 30 test shots with the M10, and I'm still thinking looking at the results in terms whether I should forget about the pre-ASPH/goggle version. On the other hand, I also have a Summicorn 35v4 that I might sell if it turns out that the Summilux 35 pre-ASPH has similar results at apertures of f/2 and smaller.
So, any thoughts on all this, and on v.1 vs v.2?

Mitch I shoot a lot with my 35 Lux FLE wide open and I like it a lot. I posted this earlier but I shot an entire project for a client (portraits) and I shot wide open as i did this one and it was shot with the M 10.

I had used the 35 Summilux V2 and loved how compact it was, the rendering is definitely "glowy" wide open but I think it's a very pleasant characteristic if you like vintage lenses. I liked it but ultimately sold it.
I've lined up a copy of the Zeiss 35 Distagon myself, so I'm going to give that a whirl.

Here is a shot taken in 1965 at Kidepo National Park in Karamoja district in the northeastern corner of Uganda. I don't remember the road, a track really, being much higher than the ground, but I climbed on top of my VW beetle to take this picture. (Scanned with BEOON + M10 + Focotar 2).
Leica IIIc | Summitar 50mm f/2 | f/5.6 | probably 1/250 sec | Kodachrome II (ISO 25) | Late afternoon

Mitch, 35lux v2 is one of my favorite 35mm lens. I use it a lot for family out. But I seldom bring it with me during landscape travel as it flare and not as sharp as modern lens. I really should and many time I miser during the trip. I have lots of favorite family images with it without sharing them much anymore.
As for focusing, I thought it has no focus shift when Edward brought this up during last discuss. At that time, my lens back focus a lot at MFD, shoot at f1.4 and f2.8 both back focused and I can't tell if it is shift or not at the time I reply to Edward.
It turn out he was right. Until recently, I sent the lens to DAG let him adjust for me. He told me I have to choose focus at f1.4 or f2.8 as the lens focus shift. His opinion is very respected. He also said the lens is difficult to adjust as he need adjust both goggle and lens itself to have correct focusing.
After lens sent back, I can't believe how happy I am, it spot on both MFD and infinity at f1.4. And you know how picky I am on this thing. Also my 50lux ASPH have perfect focus as well as damping. A very difficult lens to work with because of FLE.
So, based on how fussy this lens is with goggle, I believe you should allow yourself extra budget to have it adjusted, especially goggle version, which IMO a must for 35mm lens to have 70mm MFD.
Too much gear talk recently. I need slow down
