I'd like to vote for the summitar. I had one and it has a beautiful way of drawing. If you do a search for summitar here, there are a lot of threads on it. Many people like it. Have fun!

You need a Thambar.

The lens Leitz made to be soft.

Dear John,

Yup. Since I wrote that piece I have actually bought the lens in question.

Cheers,
