That's a problem as there are few who really CLA the threadmounts per Leica spec. The Summicron is very good, just not as good as later versions. For hand held, carry around everywhere you should be pleased with its performance. The collapsable Summicron was the first of the Summicrons. I have one in M mount, interested in a swap ;-) Dennis - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
