Do not overstate. The US military had standards required under the contract. The then-current second-generation 2/50 Summicron exceeded these requirements, so Leitz Midland designed a lens suitable to meet the contract. I have never used a 2/50 Elcan but others on this List have done so. I understand that it is a pretty good lens in all regards. Marc msmall@aya.yale.edu Cha robh b?s fir gun ghr?s fir!
