echorec Posted March 19, 2009 Share #2 Posted March 19, 2009 Hi JC, I will say it again: I really appreciate your "A little.." contributions! This is another fantastic picture. The IIIg is my favourite Leica (at the moment...) and I am impressed that you have both the rigid Summicron and the Summilux in screw mount versions.

Coincidentally I noted this one only today, link will not last forever apologies, £2,200 UK serial 3881956 Leica Summilux 50mm f1.4 L-39 (reddotcameras.co.uk) The same dealer has a 35mm Summicron ASPH LTM serial 3867933 for £2,800 Leica Summicron 35mm f2 ASPH L-39 & Case (reddotcameras.co.uk) A nice round 5K for the set, wonder if that was intentional?
