What are the alternatives to the leica noctilux m 35mm f 1 2 asph?

I don't have a list of rival 35mm lenses for this one. The Noctilux-M 35mm f/1.2 ASPH page only shows the Leica M bodies it fits, so I won't guess at alternatives.

The closest guidance is on the portraits page, which suggests a 35mm f/1.8 or f/1.4 for environmental portraits and groups. For a fast standard lens in general, the lenses guide picks a 50mm f/1.8 on full frame as the best value to start with.

If you're interested in the Noctilux line, the site also lists the Noctilux-M 50mm f/1.2 ASPH and the Noctilux-M 75mm f/1.25 ASPH. Those are different focal lengths, so they suit different subjects rather than replacing the 35mm.
