Then submit to your inner desires. It'll be the best $979 you'll ever spend....well close enough to it.
I'd be buying used...so even better. However, I think I need the 28mm 1.9 first.

The 28/1.9 is nice but won't wow you like the Nokton. It's ok wide open but nothing like the Summicron as some users have reported. Whereas the Nokton gives the Summilux ASPH a good run for it's money.
I hear ya leicashot ... it's more about the fact that I like 28mm better than 35mm and I have a pretty fast 35mm...so this will have to wait, unless you guys keep making me look at this thread every 15 minutes.

I was planning on grabbing one next week after reading this thread, but just got my bill from Sherry for some work on an M6 and a lens, so I have to wait a few more weeks haha. Can't wait though!

Wow these images look good! Really like them
Just bought a M8.2 and am considering my lens options. I have the Voigtlander 40mm 1.4 SC.
Did anyone compare the images of the 40mm 1.4 vs the 35 1.2? Do I need to think about the 1.2 or are the lenses comparable?

Agreed, and the intruding 'old hand' makes it for me. Nice catch

question for owners of the black paint version - is yours starting to brass? I have a black paint 12/5.6 screwmount and mine shows a lot of brassing...

Yes it does brass fairly easily, similar to most VC lenses. A little more than a Leica black, but less so than Leica black paint. The silver holds it's own better, but I like the brassing.
