Like "velvet" style even wide open in poor light conditions. This is one of the lens that make the Leica Legendary name. I've purchased it through e-bay last sommer. The only defect I've appreciated on this lens, but I think this is an original construction default due to his age: If you shoot a landscape, wide open and set at infinite, the corners are unsharp. Thanks again!

There are a lot of Elmar 3,5/ 5cm lenses out there to be had, and I'd like for for its sheer diminutiveness. But this is one of those that cannot be polished by my favorite polisher, so I've been reluctant to buy one sight unseen. Yours produces the results I like. Isn't this the lens that supposedly made Leica more of a household name among serious photographers? The photographers who, up until that time, relied on medium format?

The picture of two old mans talking, titled "chat", has a default, the background shows some lines of shadows and I don't know which could be the reason. http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=554353 I'll appreciate your comments, thanks for looking.
