Get Leica 50mm f/2 APO-Summicron-M ASPH in silver or black.

Get the Zeiss ZM 35mm f/1.4 Distagon in silver or black ($250 rebate at time of post).

It’s only $200 more than the black version (2.5% more at $7995 instead of $7795), so why not?

I like the silver finish a lot, but I’ll stick with the black one I have (even if the huge cost were not a huge issue), since I prefer the Zeiss ZM 35m f/1.4 Distagon which has a much more appealing rendering than the 50/2 APO. Even crazier, the Zeiss ZM 35/1.4 is a huge bargain in the context of M lenses and gives up nothing to any Leica M lens to my eyes. I ordered my very own Zeiss ZM 35/1.4 Distagon in silver finish back in 2014 (see my review of the Zeiss ZM 35mm f/1.4 Distagon).
