I recently acquired a Leitz 42mm Mikro Summar, which is the lens used by Barnack on the Ur-Leica. It was intended for micro/macro photography, but Barnack used a custom focus mount to allow it to be used for conventional photography. The rig I used is shown below and it features the lens on an RSM ring mount on a Leitz Bellows which is mounted on my M10 with a Visoflex II. I used the back screen for focussing. I have that awful Viso EVF thing for the M10, but I could not get it to work satisfactorily and, so, I used the back screen instead. All photos were taken handheld with a wafer thin depth of field leading to a lovely soft look with nice bokeh from the uncoated lens. I have taken more photos, but since the software 'upgrade' it seems that I cannot post my full size allocation as a Premium Member. I will take it up with Andreas, but in the meantime I will put them into another post, so that members can see them. I had no problem posting all of the photos together on Instagram this morning. My Instagram 'handle' is also willeica. William
