Hello to everyone! Today I got this nice lens for using with my M9 and was so badly surprised, when I found HUGE color shift in the edge of all made pictures! I choose the Summicron 35mm 2.0 ASPH code from the M9 menu, but color shift still exist (please refer to the attached picture)! Is this trouble is well known for all Skopars 35mm or it just my particular example shoving it?

p.s: I'm using this lens with attached 39mm Kenko UV (0) filter.

It is quite normal for the lens I'd say. You could try selecting the Elmarit 28 in the menu. Otherwise just use any flat field correction in postprocessing, or use Cornerfix.

jaapv, thank you so much for your great advice! Yesterday I made a test with all in camera profiles, with range of 28-35mm, to find - which one suits the best for my skopar. It's really weird, but the best result was produced by Elmarit-M 28mm f/2.8 (IV) profile! Its only one profile which is showing absolutely NO vignetting and NO color shift from all 28mm and 35mm profiles from M9 menu! So don't hesitate to use this profile in your camera, if you're shooting with this nice and small lens.
