We used the Canon Lens on Leica 111 series cameras for Reportage work quite extensivley during the early 50's as it was much faster than the Elmar & Summar which were difficult to obtain and very expensive in Melbourne. There were no real problems and the film was usually Tri X. If I wanted photographs for myself I would use the Elmar at f5.6 and process the film myself for better control.
