The Elmar f/3.5 35mm is a superfine lens, at least as good as a Summaron. But it is susceptible for fogging. However, it can be cleaned.

I've been so continuously impressed by that tiny lens Erik. I'm pretty sure i paid less than $100 USD/ 85 euro for mine, and i use it constantly.....especially now as the standard lens on my CL. The size /quality ratio is very high.

 

[Erik van Straten]

I'm as impressed as you are.

Talking about sharpness. This is a lens from 1930.

Erik, Your image shows that characteristic very well

 

[Pentudlian]

It is an outstanding piece of work!

WOW! The extra sharpness adds to an already fine image. A lens from 1930 can provide such qualities with the hands of the photographer.

Thank you, Pan!

Yes, the movement of the hands of the blond girl are a bit obscene but I'm not sure if that's her intention.

I think they are playing finger knots. It is a challenge involving finger flexibility.

Haven't had much inspiration of late, at least not to shoot pre-war Leica lenses
