Subject: [Leica] Barking Up the Wrong 35mm 2.0 Spherical

Whoa, Steve, this is an entirely different matter.  The fourth
expression 35mm Summicron...both the Canadian and German built
versions...date from the Nineteen-Eighties.  Granted, these lenses have
their own signature, but if you want to go for, "[T]he look and feel of
prints from 50's & 60's era optics," you should be considering earlier
editions of the 35mm lenses, of which there are a great many and about
which I know very little.  I am certain that many other LUG
correspondents will be pleased to enlighten us both.

I haven't done side by side comparrisons, I just know what I'm trying to
do,
which is maintain the look and feel of prints from 50's & 60's era
optics.

Results that drew me to Leica from Nikon in the mid 60's...
