Assuming the IIg and Summicron are in good working order you won't 
find a nicer combination of compactness and quality in the LTM 
camera. The body has all of the refinements of the famed IIIf and a 
better viewfinder.

The Summicron is excellent although not quite as nice as the current 
one. A good "go with" for this camera is the recently discontinued 
35mm ASPH Summicron in LTM. Look around and you can probably find one 
still new.
