Where do 35 ASPH Lens stand with M10?

[Bart Bart]

Just starting to consider getting a Leica M10 or M10p and remember that in the M8-M9 era there were complaints of focusing issues with various 35/1.4 ASPH lenses ~ but I didn’t pay much attention at the time. And Leica’s naming conventions for various 35/1.4 lenses are confusing! So what’s the deal with older lenses and newer bodies, what should I try to avoid? With which version did the 35/1.4 begin to focus correctly? Thanks

Any of the 35mm Summicron Asph f2 lenses focus fine.
There was focus shift with the earlier 35mm Summilux 1.4 lenses, you need to get the FLE #11 663 version to avoid that.

Since you can use live view it doesn't matter.

If you use the RF exclusively, you should have body and lenses matched in case you really do exploit shoothing wide open ... and why would you you buy a 1.4 in the first place.
