My new Elmar just arrived for the M9!
Feels like Christmas!
I love the look of chrome lenses on black bodies - nothing strange about that combination in my opinion! I love the look, these old lenses provide quite more though ;-)

How on earth did you colour in the aperture blades like that?
Looks like a frankenstein lens repair job, mixing blades from two lenses by a tech with a sense of humor - looks interesting - pity about the uneven no of blades though.
BB that collapsible 5cm looks sweet - I just bought myself the third Summitar, waiting for the mail now 😀
Call me crazy, but I just love these Summitars and collapsible Summicron lenses. Found myself a proper vintage snap on hood in Germany as well - making pictures, once arrived.

you're slowly turning into a collector...so, what's it gonna be for this weekend, will you be on 120 film or Leica's?😀
Actually it wasn't a repair job. The picture highlighted the abberation. The lens was bought in Tokyo from a very reputable dealer.
Looks funny though😀

Not sure if this qualifies for the thread, as it's not a "real" Leica. 😕
