SNIP Richard, I have a 35 3.5 Summaron screw mount that came with a bayonet adapter when I bought my used M2. This lens has never failed to amaze me. Small front element is deceiving. Sure, it's damn slow but when I first used it compared to my fast Canon prime FD lenses I was blown away. I keep it mostly for sentimental reasons but some of my favorite images were made with that lens. Carl
