I bought a lightly used Zeiss Biogon 35/2 ZM (in M mount) for my M9 to enjoy.
Amin pointed out the great asking price. Thanks!
I tried out this lens duirng one sunsrise over Escambia Bay (Pensacola). There was nothing special about it all, but these were my first captured images with this lens. The next day, I observed sunset at Bayou Texar (Pensacola Florida). It was not a spectacular sunset, but who cares! I enjoyed it all. The following day, we drove to Destin Beach (Florida) for the remainder of the day, and I had one hour to myself just before sunset. I liked that time a lot. Then, I picked up my family from the shopping malls to drive back home. One hour alone felt good.
I opened the DNG files in LR5, followed by transferring all images untouched to jpg. Of course, "stuff" happens to images as you do it, but I did not modify any setting at all (on purpose). No contrast changing or exposure or ... etc.
I uploaded all images to my smugmug account.

Feedback is always welcome.
The lens felt good in my hands, when used on the M9. I like it a lot. I could have used the Summicron or the Summilux pre-asph or the Canon 35/2 or 35/2.8 or 35/1.5 or 35/1.8 or the Nikon 35/1.8 or ...
and I really am not favoring the 35mm focal length that much! Somehow, and over the years, I am used to 35mm on the M9 and a 50mm on the M8.
