Hi all.

I've now had a chance to try out my 'new' 50 year old 85/1.5 Summarex 
LTM after its overhaul by Leica wizard, Malcolm Taylor, in the UK. 
He's done a marvellous job.

You can see the story and a few shots via:

Comments welcome.

This is a lens I'll be using often. My next task is to 'load for 
bear' with Fuji 800 and see how it stacks up against the Nocti 
wide-open in available darkness. For this I'll probably use it with a 
90mm adapter on my M3, as I suspect the IIIf's short rangefinder base 
won't quite be up to it.

Best

Alex
