Hi Ken,
I've never used the 35/2.8, so I can't comment. I do think, by keeping the
elements small, they were able to avoid some of the problems found with
modern, fast lenses.
As someone else commented a few days ago, this lens reminds me of the sort
of images I got with my Leica Elmar 50/3.5 (Coated), the lens I started out
with in 1952. Today, I don't have to cope with the limitations of
Kodachrome rated at ASA 10.
