I have just purchased a Colapsable Leitz Elmar 50ml 2.8 ser. 2188xxx which I hope to use with my newly acqired M6.
I am not familiar with this type of lens or it's performance. Comments on the latter would be appreciated.
There is a black, recessed dot on the lens barrel. What is the purpose of this dot and am I correct in assuming that the lens is suited for use with the M6. I purchased the lens just prior to locating a Summicron-M 1:2/50 E30 ser: 3997xxx. How do these two lens types compare?
I suspect that I should I have waited longer?!!
Your help will be appreciated.
Peter.
