Great thread.....this is the lens (35 Cron ASPH) that pushed me into selling all of my Nikon gear for Leica. Only reason I don't have it anymore is b/c of the Lux

Love these shots of your family (I assume).

This is my only rangefinder lens, it may be the only rf lens I'll own/want/desire.

Agree, they are wonderful rsolti!

Cheers & Thanks ...
the 35 summicron asph has become my All Time FAVorite lens
having been thru so much Glass, its Funny that I settled on an asph....since Retro was always my thing
but I find the asph NOT as clinical as some say & 'see'
Lovely Sharp and a Wonderful 3 d pop & Glow
sometimes it even has a slight retro feel with Film

Yep, just like mine - not clinical at all and renders beautifully.

After looking through the pics here I feel really bad. Crying. Could you give me some advice how to make clear and high contrast like your pics? Or is it cause of developer or scanner?
My pics take with Provia 400.

You need to post-process the images, especially those with difficult lighting. As a quick example, I applied a color correction (by eye) and contrast correction with the "curves" tool on your first pic. Unfortunately, this kind of adjustment takes years of practice, and the time might be better spent with shooting. Gaining skill in the wet darkroom creates the same dilemma!
