That Summilux was a killer lens!  Gorgeous results.  Unfortunately,
I didn't even think about the weight.

From what I have been able to glean, the lenses were identical
to the M versions. except for the mount.  I was able to use the
cameras viewfinder with the lenses sunshade.

I tuned down the 35mm because it was much too bulky.
