new Summarit lens question

[clicker]

Are any member shooting with the new Summarit 35mm and 75mm lens's ? I am considering purchasing this combination for my M body and possibly a digital down the road.Any input would be appreciated.🙂

Are both modern Leica M lenses, with very razor sharp result but an inferior bokeh in comparison to the classic Leica lens (Summicron 35 or Summicron 90 both in pre asferical version). Nevertheless, just their particularly optical rendition are perfect for the digital image capture, with the Leica M8.
Ciao.

I don't have these, but got to try them out right before they were released. There is an excellent similarity in feel for all four lenses. My interest was strongest in the 75, and I found it very compact and well built. Tests I've seen show the 75 a top performer.
