There is a SMCP 28/2 - neither M nor A - which is very good. Big and heavy

The M28/2.8 is soft and prone to sticky aperture blades. I have no
experience with the M28/3.5. The M28/2.0 is classy. And the K28/3.5
isan old sharpie!
I think the A28/2.8 is a bit sharper than the M28/2.8, but the plastic

I beleive the M, A and F 28 f2.8's all have the identical optical
formulas, (well there's an earl and late M version, which was
different). All were, at one time, considered mediocre performers
though If you're deciding between these three I'd get the F if I had
a choice, (better coatings
