I had a very early 35mm Elmar to match my 2.8cm Hektor for that period look. It's didn't work for me, unfortunatelly. Too much glare, and too broad a separation between the highlights and shadows in Southern CA. It is beyond the range of these lenses. I wound up selling the Elmar to a Japanese dealer. With the proceeds I bought the Summaron and a 50mm Elmar, a coated version. Now if I could only sell the Hektor, I'll be happy. S.
