Most of the older designs talked about on the LUG seem to be screw mount lenses. Could anyone suggest either a 35mm or 50mm older lens with a bayonet mount that may give me more of that "Leica" glow? Maybe I could just take a new 50mm Summicron and scratch the front surface enough so that it contributes more glow <bg> Interesting thought that the more you use your lenses and scratch them up, the more glow you get and the more characteristic Leica images they produce. Now where's that sand paper I keep in the garage? Thanks, Richard - ------------------------- Richard Clompus, OD West Chester, PA, USA
