More from the Summar

Bath, Street Entertainment with the Leitz 1936 Summar f2.0 perhaps the most malinged lens in the range-since a better f2.0 became available in the shape of the Summitar in 1939. However, find a good one,perhaps coated, and with a cleanish front element and the results can be quite acceptable.Few appear to be in use at present although I do see some in the work of Circle 39 which exists for users of 39mm screw mount cameras.  I hope to post some results with the uncoated Summitar which does not at this point appear on this Blog.
