The IIIf is indeed a great available light camera. The 1.5X magnification
of the rangefinder makes focusing in near darkness easy. (Much easier than
a R camera and easier also than an M)
If your lens is a Summaron, it is likely that is a 35mm lens. The 50s that
were made in LTM are Elmars, Summars, Xenons, Summarits, Summitars and
Summicrons. (Am I missing any?) Look at the front ring of you lens for the
focal length.
I use my IIIf extensively and would be happy to help you out with any
questions about yours.
