Okay. How much for the Summar, Ralph? Nice?
I said no Frank, the Summar was only $125 and I walked away!!! This is an important step in my recovery.
Hello, my name is Ralph and I haven't bought a 50mm lens in 3 weeks, and i don't have plans to buy another for about 3 weeks more.

....$125, eh?
he he he he,
Frank is already on the phone to Rich Pinto.
It was in decent shape for a Summar Frank, not great, but good for a 70 year old lens. As Scott pointed out, optically it was in a little better shape than the one he had with him.

I thought it was a little hazy, just a little.

And I would like to add that my low back and legs are pretty sore today. Lots of walking around town yesterday. After Joe and I parted I walked up to Times Square and around there for a while before getting on a train home.
Definately a good day. I feel like I got to see some old friends.

very cool!
actually except for a blister on my foot i'm not feeling too bad for an old guy!
the lens might have been a bit hazy or it could have cleaning marks on the front element.
but it is old...
did we mention what a great guide kurt was?
he was a fount of first hand history about buildings and cemeteries and what used be there or here and when it used to be there.
way cool!

That's the best way to see a new city, to have a knowlegable local guide show you the good stuff "under the tourist crust".

I enjoyed it immensely and while older than Backalley by some years, by some miracle have no aches or pains anywhere. Probably the steroids I am taking for my throat condition. At any rate, a great day.
