Yes in end a Summicron to me and I'd assume most anyone on the LUG would
vastly prefer.
That pre ASPH is so compact I may get one someday as my ASPH which came
later is much heavier and bulker in comparison.


A main point I did not make:
This D4ox  have with me will not focus an older lens without a motor in it.
And with no ground glass using a non wide angle you get too many missed
focused shots if you cant stop down.

And my 45mm 2.8 P is hard to grab in the sub temps with my glubs on.
