My first experience with Leica was with a IIIF with a Summitar, I've immediately sold my Pentax outfit and buyed a Leica R3, but the modern Summicron was not the same as the old Summitar, everyone has his own advantages, qualities and maybe weak points.

This contented state was compromised when I wandered into a used camera shop and saw a screw mount collapsible Summicron. If the truth is known, I have lusted for one for 50 years. You can guess, I bought it. The attached photo is one of the first trials. It was on a IIIf. It was shot in a hanger as you might guess. So far I am delighted and my wife only said that's nice.
