Comments about Zeiss 35mm f/2 ZM Lens - Silver:
This lens is an excellent option for any M Mount camera. The f2 max aperture is fast enough to be used indoors when paired with 400ISO film. Much of my formal photography involves repeating patterns or lines that run fully across the photo and this lens shows negligible distortion in such situations. The field of view also lends itself well to more modern styles such as street photography and environmental portraiture. In the Leica system where price can be a major concern this lens provides an excellent option at a much more reasonable price point, being approximately a third of the cost of the competing Leica 35mm f2 lens.
The only possible gripe is that the lens protrudes slightly into the bottom right corner of the viewfinder of a .72x Leica M. While this is normal for fast wide lenses you still have to watch out for odd objects peeking into your photo. It's really just something to be aware of beforehand.
