I loved my SC version of this lens. Despite the (not always as obvious as some may suggest) barrel distortion and the bokeh/rendering (choose your least despised term) not being quite as wonderful as the Nokton 1.2, this lens is an excellent choice. A great all rounder, very small, quick and easy to use and relatively cheap.

I had the Summicron 35 v.4 often held up as one of the best ( I preferred my Nokton 1.2 at the time) and I never really noticed any difference in everyday use between it and the classic I bought later. I'll have to dig out some shots for this thread as the MC version seems to be outweighing the SC version.

I recently overcame doubts and bought it and now I am about to scan my first rolls. Thanks for resurrecting this thread.
