Had delivery of my new (to me) Voigtlander Ultron 35mm f1.7 lens. I'm still waiting for the adapter so no example shots yet  but here it is with my GF1.
I have never felt such good quality in a lens! Lets hope the pics are as good as the lens quality!!!! In real life it is about half the size of the Olympus that's on the camera!

Congrats
I can Highly recommend all of the CV LTM and M mount lenses (having tried all but just a couple).
One suggestion I would make to you as a m4/3 owner.
Search for the Apo Lanthar 3.5/90mm in LTM. The Optics are the same as the now expensive and difficult to find SL version (for reflex cameras).
You should be able to find the LTM model for around $250-$300 depending on condition of lens and seller.
It will give you a fantastic "modern" look with APO performance.
There are literally hundreds of LTM and M lenses that have been produced over the decades by many different lens makers. Have fun in your search

I used to have this lens.
It is excellent, very very sharp! And good bokeh.
Here's one photo I took with it at wide open, with Ferrania 200 film:
You can see the whole set here:

There are also 100% crops from which you can appreciate the sharpness.

Well, I sold my rangefinder cam, so to keep a lens with no camera to mount it on, was not a very smart idea I think 
I'm very happy that Klaus got it because I know he cares for Ultrons.
