Subject: Re: [Leica] Screwmount lens questions

I am thinking, maybe about buying a second 35mm "knockabout" lens. I have
seen screwmount 35mm/3.5 Summarons for sale, but are there any M mount
35mm/2.8 Summarons (no eyes) around? Are they rare in M mount? Don
Chatterton has a 2.8, but it's a screwmount for 1650.00.  Is any one using
screwmount 35mm's from say around 1954 or 55 daily  and liking them? And
can you still get a decent shade for them. I have a nice 35 Summilux that I
would like to carry around less.

Thanks,
Newp
