[Leica] 35 goggled

["guido ridoli" <guirid@numerica.it>]

I have a "negative" goggled lens, :-)
in fact my  summaron 35/2,8 has black barrel and chrome goggles
with my black M6 HM looks very nice and with its meter  and finder (0.85)
the marriage  works  well

Leica Leica Leica
the only 35mm camera that allows you to marry a 1958 lens (and what a
lens!)
with a new 1998 body
