For one, first replace the CV 25 for a CV 21. Then get the 90 CV. Forget
that antiquated Leitz debris from another era. While the Leitz glass had
its merits, you want to use your glass until it drops dead. Which means
that whatever elusive worth it might have, in a future that might or
might not exist, is completely irrelevant. I myself have cooked at least
five 35mm 'crons, three DR 50's, and a handfull of 90's, leaving them
for the refuse heap, not even salvageable for spare parts. The only
thing that mattered, and matters to this day, were the images.
