Somehow I managed to get a first year model of the 3.5cm Elmar, with no fog 
or scratches. 
I immediately sold it, after a few test shots, to a Japanese buyer. 
With the changeI bought a 3.5cm Summaron (with a Leitz finder), which I 
still have. 
The Summaron is a better move, especially if you're considering doing any 
film based photography.
S.d.
