I'm interested in knowing more about this lens, but have had a hard time tracking down images made with it or comprehensive reports because of the huge number of LTM Elmars around.
I'm specifically looking at the M-Bayonet mount 5cm Elmar F/3.5.
From what I understand there are two serial number ranges, the earlier one with the red dot on the mount painted on vs a plastic aplique on the later range.
Also, from what I've read, it's the same optical formula as the red-scale Elmar 5cm F/3.5.
If you shoot with this lens, or have owned it in the past, I would love to see some sample shots, and hear how you feel about its "paltry" 3.5 max-aperture.
How is its focus throw?
