[Leica] 35/3.5 Summaron any thoughts

["E Nitka" <enitka@twcny.rr.com>]

Howdy - I realize that it's a bit stupid to ask what other people think of
this lens considering that I already own it.  I bought it on a whim on a
trip to Toronto from ALT cameras ( nice place for Leica-philes) .  I didn't
use it for awhile because my IIIf was being refurbished.  I must admit that
I am seriously thinking of mating it with the soon to be released Bessa-R.
I took it out last nite and shot pictures inside - just stuff of the family
using Delta 3200 at 1600.  The scanned in and printed stuff was not bad
givent that I was tried to shoot all pics at f/4 or f/3.5.  Point sources of
lite had a nice Halo around them - probably would have a hard time getting
the same effect with 35 ASPH.  The serial # puts it's production at 1951. I
dare say for two objects ( it and me) of ~same vintage it does a better job
of working than me. :)   anyway what are other peoples thoughts about this
lens.
