I've got a FED-2 for that same purpose. To tell the truth, as long as I
don't need a shutter speed slower than 1/30 (yes, mine has 1/30, not 1/25),
I don't hesitate to use it. On the IIIg I prefer the Industar-50 to the
Elmar 50. Industars don't get all foggy and full of fungus. I think Zeiss
probably had a patent that Leica didn't breach and the Soviets didn't care
about.

Nice one Chris. Sure did take you a long time to finish off that roll :-)
