  1. My Summar is optically perfect, and has what may be factory coating. The chrome barrel is unfortunately scraped down to the bare metal from lots of use, and looks terrible. I can't tell any significant difference between its performance and my Collapsible Summicron, either B&W or color. I particularly like to use it because 36mm slip-on filters fit, from my other screw mount lenses.
  2. From the position of the focusing stop it is obviously a very early, probably non-coupled, lens. Certainly NOT a bayonet mount. I still wonder if it's a 50mm Hektor, or possibly a non-Leitz lens. The viewfinder mask suggests a 90mm.
  3. Kodachrome was ASA=10, Kodachrome II was ASA=25 (in my opinion, the best color film ever made),
  4. f:4.0 would have been fine. (LTM would have been mouth-watering!.)
  5. If I could read it, I wouldn't have to ask here. The image was taken from an AHC TV program (TV screen) about Hitler, I can't improve on what is shown. Sorry. (It's bugging the hell out of me!) Thanks.
  6. Definitely not an Elmar! Could it be a 50mm Hektor? Why is there a 90 mm mask over the viewfinder?
  7. Is it really 24mm x 36mm, or is it a little less to allow space between the negative images? Thanks.
  8. Looks to me like a tiny bit of camera shake.
  9. Does anyone else enjoy this wonderful old Leica book from the 1930s? His inspiring text is accompanied by some 200 perfectly exposed, perfectly composed, beautifully printed, boring photographs. Still, I love this historical old book. Wilhelm
  10. Best of all: Nikkor 105/2.5 LTM. (The field of view exactly matches the 90mm framelines of my M3.)
  11. Wear, tare, and Murphy's Law just to frustrate you.
  12. Not every camera is improved by a later version. The later version of the T series, such as the T-900, are smaller but don't have as good stabilization, as well as a shorter tele optics.
  13. I dearly love my T100, but when shooting at ISO=800 there is too much "grain" in the faces, (Pizza face). Just a slightly higher resolution would fix it. (I also have a T900, but the stabilization isn't nearly as good as the T100). Thanks
