Figure using the outside of the frame line for the 50 in your M-2 and you will be a bit under the mark, but not much, which gives you a good margin of error to save your butt. It's a sweet lens. ctrentelman ogden, utah In a message dated 4/14/99 1:03:56 AM, you wrote: >From: cassady@mypad.com >Subject: [Leica] 40 Summicron-C usage > >Hello all, > >I just bought a 40 summicron-C for Ingrid, my M2, this weekend so I can >start shooting.
