[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have a DR Summicron M 50 mm, vintage 1960, purchased on Ebay. I've learned photography with a Nikon F3 with 50 mm lens. The Summicron images are riveting. The Nikon 5 cm, vintage 1996, just can't get the fine detail in lace or facial tones the way the 1960 Summicron can. You linger over the photos, then pick them back up and linger some more. Buy the 1966 Summicron. Pay the man whatever he wants for it, and don't look back. Lee England
