Leica LTM Show Your Elmar 5cm 3.5 Photos

Leica M39 screw mount bodies/lenses
Does anyone know if the optics in the LTM Elmar 50 3.5 are the same as the M-mount Elmar 50 3.5? I love my little Elmar but I really hate the ergonomics..

Believe the M optics are the same as it's contemporary LTM (Red scale)
The M version brings it's own ergonomic challenges with setting the aperture, but you get used to it.

The Emar was made for decades, came in many mechanical variations, including versions for the earliest fixed-lens cameras.

Elmar 5cm F/3.5 version 1, produced 1924-1951, 5 elements in 3 groups.

I love the early version because of the number of lenses/groups and nickel version it's such a beautiful good looking lens. I enjoy putting my finger on the lens when I am changing apertures!

What film stock is this?

Kodak KX 2201 (Kodak Test Film). I bought last year from eBay 55€ for 1000 ft.

I didn't know what kind of film.
For development, I followed Kodak XX on the Massive Dev Chart.


Here the can, No: 2201 001 011.

I like the results of this film. Some people regard it as a color negative film.
