That's when I find myself needing the Summicron at 2.0 and not a bit stopped down. I know, I know ... it doesn't weigh much for the old-timers, used to Graflexes as they are, but I do wish it was a bit lighter or smaller, like the Contax Sonnar or the 85/2.0 Nikkor. It's not worth selling. I've been lugging it around since 1973 or 1974 and you can tell I've gotten clumsy a time or two. You can hold them steady too: 1/30 @ 2.0 http://www.dlridings.se/gallery/v/shoebox/2006v08/06v08-0021.jpg.html Daniel On 5/10/06, Lottermoser George <imagist3@mac.com> wrote: > Ouch!
