Hello Friends:

I got a set with 2 iiig cameras each one attached with cron coll, the 995635 looks little yelowish tint than the other, AFAIK isnt included in the radioactive range, any thoughts about this tint?

this set comes too with elmar 10.5cm f 6.3 mountain lens with no.128867, summilux.net says ? as a date of manufacturing. Any advice about this? BTW this set cost me about usd 2000.00

I think I got a good deal.

Thanks in advance for your time and comments. and please apologize for my poor english.

 

best regards.

The yellowish tint of your Summicron may result from contamination with residues of Thorium during the production; the lens itself doesn't have Thorium glass.  http://www.marcocavina.com/articoli_fotografici/50mm_Leica_a_telemetro/00_pag.htm (scroll down to the chapter about the first 50mm Summicron).

Your "Mountain Elmar" seems to be from 1932 - is it in nickel or chrome?

Even though the instruction says that 2480 pixel on the long side is recommended, half of this may be better to handle.
