I just won a very late model "made in Japan" 35/2 on eBay for a bargain!
Once it survives the 10,000km journey to me, I am anxious to see what  
it's
like. And anxious to see if I can focus it with the notorious 2-series
focusing screen!

(the screen isn't notorious, but the combo with the 35mm lens seems to  
be)
