I assume that it was taken with an M8? Older designed (in this case from 1951) optics definitely hold its own strengths. Btw, how's the lens condition? Is it coated or not or re-coated?
But the filter thread also played an important factor in deciding which lens to acquire, especially if used with M8.
Again, thanks for the images.

Thanks, just test shots really, but the morning light is what makes them work.
The lens is in excellent condition. No haze or fungus, glass is perfect. Some wear on the rim from filter usage and a few specs of dust inside, but that doesn't matter. It is going to DAG for a CLA non the less (together with the IIIf) as the aperture ring is hard to set. It is an easy fix, according to Don.
