Lovely shots, but hard to believe they're made with a 35!

Thanks! Yep, wide-open near minimum focus distance gets you quite a bit of blur. The ASPH Lux 11874 has such a nice draw - smooth but still structured enough to have character.

Nowadays and in this world anything is possible, but I still don't believe it. Again, the shots are very fine!

Fair enough. I'm certain of which lens I used (because I only had one lens with me). So, I guess it's cool that a 35 could give the impression of a different lens.

They are lovely. The 35 Summilux ASPH is great, and, yes, you can get very narrow depth of field with it. I was the first of the modern asphericals (the 50/1.2 Noctilux was obviously Leica's first camera lens with aspherical elements) but it was also the first of their lenses to be designed with very rapid focus fall off.

The "more is better" philosophy, as you point out elsewhere on this forum, has made lenses produced in the last 30+ years a lot more contrasty and focus falloff occurs even faster, but the 35 ASPH is pretty much where modern lens fashions were set.
