Another New/Old lens for the Leicas

[johnastovall]

Have been hunting one of these in mint condition and the Brown truck brought it today. It's mainly for the IIIG Leica to give me a a fast LTM for it but I'm sure it will see some time on the M8. Where's that 50 LTM to M-mount adapter?

It's a better lens that its internet reputation, and it works quite well with a digital sensor. Here's an example from my "mint" copy on an R-D1...

I figured it would be better than its internet reputation. Too many are obsessed with "sharpness" rather than light. I look for light more than "sharpness."

I guess I like Goethe crying to the end, "More light."
