... whatever mount it's attached to.

Having drunk the RFF kool-aid that RF lenses are in general "superior" to its SLR brethren, I finally get a chance to try a genuine Summicron... R.

Got it at a very modest price, a fraction of its RF siblings, dust inside, not very pristine outside. At least it works :)

I think it walks the Summicron walk, don't you? :)

For the curious, the film is an el-cheapo Walgreen (Fuji ??) 400. Underexposed slightly to emphasize the saturation, but not digitally post-processed in anyway except scanned, and resized by flickr.
 
What's the going rate for these lenses nowadays? I just saw a listing for a Summicron-R 50 and it seemed reasonable, but I can't peg down a current market price.
