It looks like a very fine lens for B&W. Thanks, Luis.

Last year I have purchased an excellent Summitar to put on my IIIF (the IIIF's responsables was my fruenbds Daniels Ridings and Peter Dzwig... FORTUNATELY!!), and I'm very hapy with this lens, it understand very well the Spanis Sunn, I should recognise that Summiluxes 75, 50, 35 are also wonderful with our Sunn. Here you can see some of my pictures with the lovely Summitar: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=5210116 http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=5210114 http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=5210118 Lovely lens!

Daniel want to put it in his trouser pocket. 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?
