A fine lens to have in a collection, honest and no more in performance, pleasant in BW; I have a very old one (182.311 - 1933) but in use prefer the 35 Summaron 3,5 ("old mount", different from the E39 mount for the BMs). If You suffer, as myself, of some kind of collector's ill, put in plan to have a complete "Elmar set of the thirties" : 3,5-5-9-10,5 (TOO nice !)-13,5. Not too expensive except the 10,5, nice to have: I am looking for exchanges to have my 5 lens set of the SAME year... as I said, is frankly an innocent ill...
