Well, I picked up the 24S against the G-master. For me, the real question was - 24S, Milvus 25, Loxia 25. 24S won for couple of reasons, price is one of them. Auto-focus is another. Performance - let's not forget that one.
I would argue that 24S competes with Sigma 28. Especially for wide angle lenses, every mm counts. I will not put 24S against Voigtlaender 21 or Sigma 28. I will probably have all of these - very different lenses.
Regarding 35 - I will never pay that money for 35S. Not my lens! I will be more than happy to buy Zeiss, Tamron, Voigtlaender, etc. lens, but 35S just does not convince - you are right. The moment Tamron makes SP 35/1.4 work on Z, no sane person should reach for the 35S if performance is a must. Sigma Art 40/1.4 works just fine with the FTZ.
Another lens that I hoped will be better, is 14-30, but many people like it very much.
