Subject: Re: [Leica] 35 summaron

The LTM Summaron 35 3.5 and 2.8 are optically identical. The M was
available with and without RF goggles. The LTM was without goggles.

I own a 3.5 version in LTM and find it to be OK but not outstanding. The
2.8 version is reputed to be much better, but I have never used one. My
wife has an M3 with a RF Summicron and it is OUTSTANDING!

Cheers!
