[Leica] c - Summarit

[pdzwig at summaventures.com (Peter Dzwig)]

Vick,

I bought mine with my IIIf and it virtually lives there. It is good at f1.5 
it 
shoots well with modern films including my much used BW400CN and HP5 etc. At 
f16 
  I like it, too. It may have what some perople call an "old fashioned" 
look, 
but really I think that it is a very good (cheap) and fast lens that is 
usable 
if in good condition (which mine is).

Is it better than a Summicron? It's heavier, but faster and mine predates 
the 
Summicron by about five years - if I believe Leica's date!

PS If you look at most of the early stuff in my gallery you will find a wide 
range of pictures much of which was shot with the Summarit
