Thanks for the reply. I think I’ll try out a v4 Summicron. Smallish, good performance on Roger Cicala’s site, focus tab, and 6-bit coding. Rendering looks sufficiently different from my C-Sonnar as well.
Luckily my camera was covered for loss/theft by the credit card I used, and I’m pretty sure my lenses were on my insurance rider. So I should be able to get the camera and maybe lens without too much out of pocket.

One lens I used a lot on the Sony was the 55/1.8 and I’d love some advice on a Leica 50mm lens to pick up. I’m going for the modern well corrected look stopped down, and would prefer a small lens with great build and ergonomics, preferably under $1500. I don’t know much about the variations of the Summicrons and Summarits, but I’m guessing that’s what I’m looking for. Thanks and look forward to joining the club.One more to consider is the ZM 50/2 Planar...should fit well with the rest of your kit. The current Summicrons, Version 5 with the built in hood and the immediately previous version 4 (same optics as the current version) are also good options. You may find it handy to look for a lens that is 6-bit coded.

Hello all, I’ve been following this thread for years, and may be joining soon. I’ve been adapting several ZM lenses and a CV lens to Sony bodies, but my Sony kit and FE lenses were just stolen ☹️. I’m looking at it as an opportunity to change and use my M mount lenses on a rangefinder for the first time.I’ve got the ZM 18/4, 25/2.8, 35/2.8, 50/1.5, 85/4 as well as a CV 35/1.2, but only carry 2-3 lenses at a time depending on what I’m shooting.

Picked up a Russian 1950s 50mm Jupiter 8 not long ago. It is in surprisingly good shape. Took it out just a little while ago one my M-E to test it out. All were shot wide open at f/2. There was heavy overcast with a slight drizzle so the park down the street was empty.

I've always found armor design fascinating. Such an interesting point in history.

EDIT: I just noticed how much Flickr has compressed these images. It's pretty alarming lol!

Wonderful shots of armour (as we spell it!) Abram!
I'm on holiday in Japan right now and due to overall logistic considerations I haven't carried a Leica camera with me, although I do have my trusty infrared-converted Leica A12 sensor (APSC) module Ricoh GXR (720 nanometre filter).
I'm pretty happy with the shot below, given that I am using a USD72 Jupiter-12 lens and the shots were taken through the glass of the hotel bedroom window!
It's a 5-shot stitch and aperture is probably f8. Shots stitched in Lightroom.
We have moved on, and today visited Hiroshima on a day-trip from Kyoto. We made a very interesting, memorable and sombre visit to the Peace Museum and the A-Bomb Dome (near the epicentre of the first atomic bomb dropped in combat).

I think it better to compress images sent other than to Flickr myself. I use a German product available here:
https://andreasresch.at/2013/04/07/web-sharpener-better-sharpening-for-the-web/
It is quite good. The latest version, which is a Panel in Photoshop, is here:
https://www.andreasresch.at/upload/WebSharpenerEP_V1.0.7_Beta.zip
I think SmugMug has the best algorithm for screen presentation - far better than Flickr. Perhaps one hand will help the other!
BTW, I have been on the fence for the 35 FLE. I have a very nice 35 Summicron ASPH, second to newest version. Every time I pause and stop over the "Pay" button for the FLE, including one available here. I did just order the Zeiss 35 1.4 Distagon, but I know I will still want the FLE. And, if I got that one, I would wonder about the Zeiss...!

I've tried so many 35s. They're all excellent for different reasons. I think the Zeiss Distagon is the best with regard to outright performance but I personally did not enjoy its size and bulk. It's far from "unusable" but it just wasn't enjoyable to use on my Ms.
I was perfectly happy with the 35 Summicron ASPH. I think it's an excellent lens in general and if I were smart, I'd have just kept that lens around. The 35 FLE is indeed a great lens but I don't know that it's really worth its cost. I'm in no hurry to get rid of it, but I will say it never disappoints me. It works well at all apertures which inspires me to use it at all apertures. It's my primary and really only lens right now (with the exception of a Minolta 40mm f/2) so I feel strongly enough about it to rely on it that heavily.
