[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I've recently been scanning Kodachrome transparencies (dating back to the '70s), nearly all of which I shot using the Summitar on a IIIf. I am consistently amazed and pleased by the results in terms of saturation, sharpness, contrast, and edge clarity at most apertures. It's really quite an experience moving through an image under high magnification in Photoshop 5. I sold my Summarit to Don Bledso about a year ago and kept the collapsible Summicron. I now regret it. Please, Don, can I have it back? Chandos At 03:49 PM 10/31/98 +0100, you wrote: >I'm toying with the idea of getting a IIIa or IIIc. Can anyone comment >on the optical properties of the 5cm Summitar?
