Hi, I'm a newbie to the lug and I've been subscribing for a couple of
months. My name is Jim Gumm, I'm from OKC, and I'm a commercial photographer
and photography is pretty much my life. I just picked up a black M4 ser #
1185xxx! Its a little battered and brassed and could use a cla, and I've
been thinking about trading/selling it, any one interested, e-mail me
privately. Regarding the lens scratches on a summarit 50, I've used several
and one of the had scratchs (cleaning marks) on a inner element. A former
repaiman had overly cleaned it to the point that the coating was almost
gone. It was still a good as the others. They are soft wide open, but @ 5.6
it had a beautiful gradation of tones and made nice enlargements. I've
always thought that wide angles are more problematic with rear scratches and
tele's with scratches on the front. A friend had a Super-Angulon f 4 that
had a rear scratch from the rangefinder roller and it showed up at every
stop but f 4. I've owned a 105 nikkor 2.5 that had a inch long scratch on
the rear element that didn't affect the picture, it was still a super sharp
lens. BTW, I used to shoot all chrome and B+W and in my darkroom I would
make an 8x10 or 11x14 to distinguish the qualities and differences between
lenses. Now (Due to circumstances beyond my control), most of my work is
color negs. enlarged to 4x6 by a pro-lab. I believe that lens or image
quality cannot properly be judged by looking at a 4x6 print! I have a friend
who is trying to evaluate 6 400mm vintage lenses, 4 Kilfitts (one APO) a
ENNA f4.5 and a novoflex f5.6. All 4x6' prints were so close in quality that
we couldn't tell one from the other. If all a person does is shoot color
negs and enlarge to 4x6, they could use almost any lens and camera and get
good results.Photographs need to be enlarged at least to a 8x10 or so to
judge. Anyways, thanks for your time.

Jim Gumm
