Subject: [Leica] 50 mm lenses

Hi Lee,

As I have just said to Don, I find that the old lenses have a magic
impact... something special. 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.

Saludos desde Barcelona
Luis

Dear LUG,
        The recent discussion of what was the best 50 mm lens almost
prompted to 
comment that  I thought that the 50 ASPH Summulux was the best and that 
since I bought it my 50 Summicron, 4th, has sat on the shelf.  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.

Lee
