How Good Can a Summar Get?

[Charlie Lemay]

I like the special quality it gives this image made with my nickel Summar.

Just to show that Summars give good results on m43 cameras.

Helen,
I've admired your photos before on Flickr which was one reason I bought the Summar in the first place. Are there any scratches on the front element of your copy?

Oh hello John
Thanks MUCH for peeking @my Flickr...🙂

No scratches on the summar...EXC condt for its age
just a little slight bump one feels when turning the Aperture ring
I was Fortunate to get this lens from Robert/digitalintrigue here @RFf....😀

Here's my Summar at f/4, handheld at 1/250 sec. I've thrown in an unsharpened 100% crop from my Reflecta scanner just to lay to rest any accusation that it's soft. It's not far off my Summicron DR in resolution.
