Summarit 5cm Photos

Thanks, Helen.

I got my Summarit with my M3 from the original owner. I didn't really like it at first, but after using it a bit more I'm starting to figure out how to best use it to suit my preferences. Definitely an interesting lens.
 
Picked up a cheap scratched Summarit 5cm f/1.5 (1950s serial number) last week. Filled in the biggest pits in the glass with some ink.

Put it on my Leica M-E and put a XOONS hood on it.

Definitely a bit glowy and will flare badly if you don't take precautions. Folks say it lends itself better for B/W photography so I will be trying that next.
Currently I find it's very close with my Xenon 5cm f/1.5.
