I have a 35mm Summicron (ser no.1930020). It looks like an M-mount with the raised red bump on the side. But the M-mount unscrews to reveal a regular LTM mount. I bought it used in 1966 so it must be from the early-mid 1960's. I take it this is not one of the rare LTM 35mm Summicrons. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Post" <dpost@triad.rr.com> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2001 11:33 PM Subject: Re: [Leica] 35 LTM Summicron question > I have an opportunity to get a nice looking 35mm Summicron (Canadian) that > is in LTM and was wondering if it is optically a good deal.
