Lynn, Rod,

I havent re-read this entire thread, so you've probably already said, but is/are your Summitar(s) coated or uncoated? I'm trying to figure out what I can reasonably expect from my 1938 version, and work out the best processing (best for me, that is).
Nice work here.

Larry, I have two, my goto one is a 1950 10 blade coated, the second a 1951 10 blade that I had the coating removed.
My last two posts are with #1 coated
Both have a yellow 0 fitted

Thanks, Rod!

Whoa love this look of that one. Summitar creates a really good atmosphere for that kind or portrait. Bokeh is always kinda "spiral" which enhace the main subject. At this that MHO.

I am circling the Summitar market for a lens to accompany my '49 IIIc.
Somewhere in the last 15 pages there probably were comments about the different number of aperture blades and how that affects things. What should I be looking at in terms of an early '50's model, numerated in feet.
