I bought the Flektogon 35mm f2.4 and here is my little review.
When mounting it, make sure the lens is in MF mode, because the electrical contacts of this m42 lens can bump into the AF screw drive and prevent it from being mounted properly.
In comparison to the DA 35mm f2.4
The Flektogon has a great minimum focus distance. This lens is almost a macro, which is great for photography of details. It also renders colours very nicely. Bokeh is good, too. My copy is not sharp wide open, but it gets quite sharp if you stop down a little. The DA 35mm f2.4 is significantly sharper wide open. The DA 35mm also has the advantage of being smaller and much lighter. The DA 35mm is plastic, while the Flektogon is a big metal grenade of a lens. The other advantage of the DA is, of course, that it is a modern lens. Better lens coatings, full AF, full auto aperture, communicates focal length to camera, etc. The DA 35mm also has more modern, jagged bokeh. The Zeiss Flektogon is not a bad lens, though. I can recommend it if you want a cheaper "macro" 35mm for details and closeups. As long as you don't mind adapters and manual focus. It can be used in Av mode btw, because the lens will stop down as soon as you move the aperture ring. So you just keep it wide open to focus, then stop down the aperture and the camera automatically adjusts shutter speed (and ISO, if you choose). Pentax cameras also have the benefit of in camera SR and catch in focus, which make this manual lens slightly more "modern"
And here is a sample photo with the Flektogon:
