Thanks, Len, A good candidate for a 35 then. Not to exclude the fifty. 
There's a lot to be said for a compact external finder with
this kind of lens, I think.
I've now successfully loaded the 111c a dozen times with no issues at all. 
That's pleasing. Just do it with care and the correct
sequence. No problem so far.

Cheers
Hoppy

Hoppy,

You're going to be the expert on LTM bodies. At least we'll know  
whose library to access for those obscure details when needed.
Enjoy. Oh, I use the 35mm / 3.5 Summaron. Mine is sharp as a tack and  
I think better then the 50/3.5 Elmar. It's a tiny lens that does not  
collapse. A perfect companion to the IIIc. I believe they are  
relatively easy to come by and reasonably priced, even in EX++  
condition.

Cheers,
Len
