Yes, this image was captured with a current 50mm Summilux in LTM mount. I purchased the lens the better part of a year ago from a source in Germany, put it aside while I played with digital for a period, then began using it in earnest recently. The viewfinder does get blocked to a certain extent in the lower right-hand sector; enough that I use a SBOOI 50mm viewfinder for framing. Other than that, the LTM version handles like a dream (even the built-in lens hood works fine) and matches the finish of the 50's-era body almost perfectly.

Is this 50mm Summilux the recently issued one in LTM? How does it handle on your IIIf ? Is the viewfinder blocked to any annoying extent ? - - Phong - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
