Oh, there's nothing wrong with the Summitar, sorry if I implied it. I
just happened to see these two on the negatives I was looking at. I
like it because it can collapse.

I used it all New Year's Eve wide-open and I don't have any complaints
at all in those shots.

But then again, I'm easy to please.

I am childishly infatuated with the IIIf. Don't know why. Probably
because I finally got one back after trading one in long, long ago so
that I could buy Leica M's.
