I guess for me LTM is the place to experiment...old Leitz cameras & lenses, Zeiss war-time rarities, post-war Soviet copies, early Nikon & Canon designs, the new Cosina Voigtländer products, etc. (Now some of these experimentation lenses have displaced former "keepers" in my bag of essential gear, but that's a whole nuther story.) A 35 'cron seems like the odd man out in such company. If you're serious enough about Leica glass to consider buying a current Summicron you probably also own an M camera (or are about to buy one)...and so would logically get the M version of the lens. - -Dave- - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
