Leica M5 Lens

[janoow10]

I was looking at some second hand lenses. Would someone mind telling me what they think of the following -

Leica Elmar 50mm F2.8 LTM - v1
Leica Summaron 35mm F3.5 LTM - E39
Leica Summar 50mm F2 LTM - Silver / Collapsible

Just to be sure, you know you’ll need an adapter to use them with the M5, LTM lenses are screw mounts and the M5 uses the M bayonet mount.

Summar is uncoated, most likely. Do you like ultra soft contrast, washed colors and flaring?
Check M5 manual if collapsible lens is OK.
Summaron 35 3.5 is most simple in rendering, but still old Leitz lens.

All three at one meter will have focus tab just under VF/RF window. You'll have two options. Use index finger pointing up or use two fingers to grab the lens elsewhere.
