Another Summicron recommendation thread

I used to use a 50 DR Summicron w/Tech pan film...the resolution was incredible..almost like 4x5...and the lower contrast came in handy on sunny days..where you really needed to tame the films contrast..still have the lens..but miss the extinct film..

Big fan of the V3, mostly because it's affordable and I don't particularly like focus tabs. (Though I'd love to try a rigid someday.) I just sent mine to DAG for CLA and I'm kinda longing for it.

Some pics, first three are on the M9, the others M6:

I love the first pic. You captured the gesture of all three people. The two guys look like actors in a sitcom. Very nice. Some how, this pic reminds me EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND.

Haha, yeah, that's my brother, mother, and dad on Thanksgiving. Our family is pretty funny at holidays!

Oddly enough, we rent this place at the Jersey Shore every summer and pack the whole extended family into it...and Ray Romano, star of that show, rents the place across the street. (He's right on the beach, of course.) Every year there's a little informal contest to see who can casually strike up a conversation with the guy.
