I acquired a gorgeous nickel Elmar 35mm f3.5 (no serial number so early 30s) and just scanned my first shots. I'm blown away. A 1937 Auburn Speedster shot on my Leica III on Kodak Tmax 400 pushed to 1600 and developed in Tmax developer.

Not actually Leica glass, but both taken with my 1940 Luftwaffen Eigentum IIIc and a 1937 CZJ Sonnar 5cm f/2 which appears to have been fitted into an Elmar mount at some point in its history.

The camera is away for CLA and I'm itching to get my hands back on it!



The top photo, woooow!
Cool rare piece of kit!

1938 Elmar 5cm f/3.5 taken with IIIc, HP5+ in TMAX dev 1+4. I'd run out of my usual XTOL so the TMAX was the only developer at hand.
