Also make use of the 1:1 bright-line finder, as I can view the subject in 3-D with both eyes open. I also have the U.S.-made Tech Photo rapid wider on the caemra. I can do two frames per second with it. This device was made in the 1950s and 60s and was "knocked-off" in Italy recently. Hey, what about my IIIc ? It's also a good image maker. One fact I was told by an ex-Leitzeroo person is that my 3.5mm f/3.5 Summaron (first version) has a peculiar ability at wide open aperture to render the edges sharper than the center. Most lenses do a better job in the center. Does anyone have tests to disprove this? The meeting in Koeln was very good. I'm sorry I had to leave at the end to pack my bags for an early next day departure. Ed Meyers
