the 21mm has a tendency to flare, the 35mm 1.7 is very soft wide open-
otherwise they are lovely & compact, and not overpriced (compared to Leitz or Zeiss)
 
I had the 50/2.5 in S mount, which I sold with my Nikon S2. Also had the 25/4 in M mount which went, and the LTM 28/3.5, which also went.

Not for any good reason other than I like to try out lots of different lenses and can't afford to keep them all if they don't stand out as outstanding. I didn't rate the 50 skopar too highly for some reason and moved on to the Elmar-M, which also went (but was very good) and I now have the collapsible Hexanon 50 instead. The 25 and 28 were very good.
 
I'm using the V2 35/1.2 asph at the moment and I think its one of the bang for your buck lenses. I just did a comissioned work on it and they were quite impressed. There were some high Pf amounts on really contrast challenging background though, but everything else is awesome.
 
The 15 4.5 has been with me for a while and love it on those occasions that needed a wider FL. Recently got the 28 3.5 color skopar which I've been hunting for a while courtesy of an RFF seller.
