Slobodan,

I'd like to hear more about your experiences with the 3.5cm Summaron.
I too am attracted by the low profile of a IIIf and a small lens. The
Elmar, collapsed, is small, but I usually want a bit wider.

Is the 3.5 Summaron a low-profile lens? All I have to compare with now
is a Jupiter-12 and it sticks out more than a 35/2.0 Summicron. On the
other hand, the Jupiter-12 has a deep recess that functions like a
lens shade.
