I have the 40mm Leitz Summicron C.

Its pile of worms. I love it!!

Worms?

Only works on my Leica M6 classic.
Not my New Leica m6 TTL.
That's ok with me.

Does not use filters so easily.
That's ok with me.
With scanning instead of darkroom I no longer feel ice I need filters so
much if at all.
Truth is stranger than fiction.

Those are the worms.

On the plus side:

There are lots of them and they don't cost so much.
They say "Leitz: on them.
They are very compact and light.
This is a very big thing with me now.
Compactness and lightness.

I'll agree.
You can see a picture of it taken apart.
