I was chasing my 2 year old around trying to use the Summarex. Switching between focus and viewing viewfinders was a pain. I have now bought a LTM-to-bayonet adapter and will shoot more with the Summarex. I'm hoping for the best - I like older portrait length lenses, and the Summarex was one that I wanted to have. The other one I have is the 85mm f1.5 Nikkor. regards, Vick Roland Smith wrote: >Hello Vick: > >First, the lens cap for the Summarex is larger than would be necessary, >since, it is designed to work on the lens hood slipped over the lens >backwards.
