Folks -

I was looking through some stuff for another kind of picture on which 
to try some of these B&W conversion things and I came across this one, 
shot with an SL, 50mm Summicron (1st version) w/ Elpro on Kodachrome 
200:

I've raved about the Elpro/'Cron combo before, and as a regular user of 
the 60 Macro-Elmarit  I feel like I have a good basis for comparison.  
The ability to not lose lens speed at close distances can be a really 
nice feature.  I haven't yet owned a Rigid/DR Summicron but for me this 
would hafta be my call for the so-called "Best All-Around 50 Leica 
lens.

Comments welcome.
