This lens came as part of a very collectible IIIf R/D kit. I am not a collector so I decided to cash in the body and case (sigh). But the lens is for me one of my best. We get on very well. We "clicked" :-) One or two of these pics may appeal but I can't but offer to share my delight at using the new electronic camera with a "peach" of a classic lens (with a standard UV filter and no 6-bit coding). I managed to get into the centre of Manchester (UK) with some good winter sunlight. Some of the subject matter (graffiti/street art?) may not appeal to all but I am ok with this stuff - a couple do involve the "fair" sex? http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/crb/M8/Manchester/ We had a quick walk along my staple venue (Macclesfield Canal) when it was cold and the canal was partly frozen - a barge had clearly passed through and broken up the ice - we had a fine half pint of a winter warmer ale half way through! http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/crb/M8/canal/ Needless to say C&C are welcome.
