The little Leica Summaron 35/3.5 LTM that I tried made a nice compact package, with an included angle similar to a 52.5mm "normal" lens. I have not upgraded the firmware yet, so can't comment on ease of focusing. Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA On 7/29/2013 6:45 PM, Jeffery Smith wrote: > Pretty 3-dimensional on my monitor.
