Great review, indeed the pictures from this lens are so clean. At F2 the GM is as sharp as the 35mm SL APO F2 in the center and both have comparable contrast, which is crazy. The 35mm GM is also smaller, lighter, has faster and silent AF (the SL is noisy in video) and of course you can get much nicer background blur at f1.4. The Leica has better colors and nicer OOF transition at F2, it also has excellent microcontrast to the point of focus (only a few lenses can do that). However the Leica is 3500$ more expensive, not sure if it worth it for 90% of people. Both are the best 35mm AF lenses you can get.
