I prefer the Summicron too, especially at wide apertures, but I haven't noticed much distortion - I wonder if there was a change in design at some point in its manufacturing life? I've seen other people mention it too. Mine is a 10-blade coated one from 1949 and if anything this example shows a small bit of pincushion.

With any backlighting, I get an image of the aperture blades in mine. Anyone else have this problem?

Just gotta say -- what a terrific, well-timed photograph! Great use of narrow DOF. And the tonality is wonderful. Congratulations.

The eyes of the fellow on the left really make the photo, which is wonderfully exposed BTW. Congrats!
