Besides, I regularly use Prewar cameras; my first camera was a 1932 Voigtlander Bessa, which I still have and which I still, on occasion, use. That one is getting close to be late middle-aged! This is a magnificent lens, incidentally. I have owned several, and all were fine. I still have one and use it with some frequency. It makes a nice counterpoint to my current 2.8/90 Elmarit.
