(Absolutly straight up no kid) or put vaseline on a filter...You get the
idea

LUGers,

I'm thinking about putting a screw mount  50 on my M6.  I'm NOT looking for
a tack sharp lens, after all I do have the 50 Summicron for that, but I'm
looking for a "nostalgic, fuzzy, pre-war" look.  Any insights into choosing
one or the other of these lenses, assuming that they can be found in decent
shape.
