Hi Alex,

I see you love also the old lenses, I have also someones, and Malcolm  
Taylor has re-coated a Summitar and CLA some others. I love the  
Summarex, a great lens, beautiful pictures! The rendtion of the Elmar  
5cm is very good also, but I use mainly this one for B&W.

It's a shame we have not meet in your visit in 2005, I liked very much  
your pictures of Barcelona

cheers
Lluis
