I'm confused on the different elmars,
-Which have 39mm filter threads?
-Is there a difference between the M and LTM versions besides the mount (given the same vintage)?
-Is there a difference in ergonomics? I hear that they are fiddly.
-What is the lens hood, is it easy/difficult to find/use?
-Any size comparisons between this lens, the collapsible Summicron, the rigid Summicron, and the summitar? (visual reference)?
I'm looking for a not too expensive collapsible lens with 39mm filter threads. The reason why I do not like 36mm filter threads is that they sometimes bind to the filter threads and I prefer to standardize all my RF filter threads to 39mm for consistency.
I like speed, I like small, I like ergonomic, and I like inexpensive; however, like most photographic equipment I can't have it all. Right now what I do not prioritize is speed and the elmars might be sufficient for the other critieria.
