Jeffrey, pardon my petulance, but what exactly do you want to know? I shot
for some years with one of these and have a high regard for it though, if
pushed to the limit on collapsible lenses, I would seek out a 2/5cm CZJ
Sonnar T.
But the 2/5cm collapsible Summicron is a perfectly capable lens and will
task you to reach its limits. It often does not make photography easy but,
in the end, I discovered that it is a better lens than I am a photographer
