I picked up this lens primarily for use with my S4 but haven't finished the first roll with it yet (and the lab was closed today anyway). So I mounted it on my M 240 and went for an early evening drive today. Since it's an M Amedeo and I mostly use it for 50's anyway, I put a 35 finder in the M 240's shoe and had at it.

Nice images.
While the 3.5cm f2.5 isn't a 3.5cm f1.8, it's still a darn nice piece of glass and can render some beautiful images. I'm fortunate to have three versions, the one you have pictured above, the LTM version, and the Nikonos version for underwater photography. Nikon liked that design well enough to use it across multiple platforms.
Best,

The 2.5 is no slouch. I once did a direct comparison with the Summaron 35/2.8 and the results were indistinguishable.

I have a Nikon 35mm 1.8, but I have seen many images posted online that were taken with the Nikon 35mm 2.5. It is an excellent lens overall.
