My 50 Summicrons are with DAG for some minor surgery. So, when we went 
to friends for first night of Hanukkah, I thought I'd fool with my old 
1949 Summitar. It's a time machine lens. At f/4, it's good, solid 1950s. 
At f/2.8 it's 1940s.? And at f/2, it is 1930s with a touch of Dada and 
Surrealism if treated right.

In this shot, I went wide open and let the lens be itself. It obliged.
