The fourth expression 35mm Summicron...both the Canadian and German built versions...date from the Nineteen-Eighties. Granted, these lenses have their own signature, but if you want to go for, "[T]he look and feel of prints from 50's & 60's era optics," you should be considering earlier editions of the 35mm lenses, of which there are a great many and about which I know very little. I am certain that many other LUG correspondents will be pleased to enlighten us both.
