An f8. Why faster? Whose asking for speed? We can shoot at ISO 1600 on a whim! Slower And come out with one about the size of a super Angulon. Maybe even one symmetrically designed. Not retrofocal. A Cosina SA. Lets not forget we are shooting with a rangefinder camera. Which does not require bloated optics to make for an image in the viewfinder bright and snappy enough to focus with. We can focus fine with an f11. Mark William Rabiner rabinergroup.com
