But now that you mention it, last week a guest speaker at the LHSA spring shoot mentioned some excellent low contrast Leica lenses, but I failed to write it down. Like you, I get terrible contrast problems in the subtropical sun down here. The lens he mentioned was probably single-coated, post-WWII. It wasn't the Summarit or the Summaron (I have both of those). My recollection (fuzzy) was that it was a Summitar. Anyone out there use one of those these days?
