As for optical quality...It is a good lens, but has a different fingerprint than the current Summicron. It's rendition of texture and the finest detail is not as precise. This is not to say it is bad...It is certainly not. Generally the Summicron is only slightly more expensive than the Elmar, but if you like collapsable 50's this is the one to get. (I really wish they would make one in LTM so I could put it on my IIIG...) Best Wishes Dan States Madison WI > >I would like to buy a M6 TTL 0.72 next week.
