Can anyone give me some feedback on the performance of the ZM35/2? I would like to know how it compares to my ZM35C - aside from being faster. Some wide open shots would be great to see. I am not too keen on that soft, dreamy, glowy look which some lenses have when shot wide open. I would also imagine they are quite similar performing stopped down. Any feedback would be most appreciated.
I think it boils down to the need of speed (or the need of a compact lens). The lack of one stop will definitely be more important than any difference in quality, whichever is best. No glow but a noticeable drop in contrast wide open.
And here is very interesting discussion comparing ZM35/2 and 35/2.8 https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1067136/ (Lukas comparisons are probably one of the better resources in this matter you can find online)
