I completely agree with Bob: Wonderful information, Erwin, rich in comments. And, although I prefer the rigid chrome version even to the new one, I enjoyed every line of your report. Thanks for your effort ! Some LUG brother asked for a comparison between coll Summicron and Summitar. As Marc J Small pointed out some weeks more early, the coll Summicron has hardly any advantage on the Summitar. I agree to Marc from my own experiences: Although low in contrast, the Summitar is a pretty fine lens beginning at f 2.0. To get an impression of an uncoated 1939 Summitar's rendition, please look at: <http://members.aol.com/abreull/03l.htm> An example of a 1953 coll LTM Summicron is shown (upper picture) at: <http://members.aol.com/abreull/l-co-2.htm> And, an example of a 1962 rigid chrome M Summicron is given at: <http://members.aol.com/abreull/20l.htm> Alf - -------------------------------------------------- http://members.aol.com/abreull/index.htm
