Leica LTM Summitar the star...

I haven't yet been able to replicate the swirly bokeh in my summitar.

When I first started shooting with RF cameras I used a Summitar lens and noticed the shots were somewhat soft. Later when I purchased a IIIG that had a Summicron I noticed the shots were sharper and I put away my Summitar lens. Now I have learned so much about RF cameras and lenses that I am going to get out my Summitar lens and shoot with it.
But I will admit that I have shot a lot with my Nikkor 50.2 LTM lenses and enjoyed not having to pull out the lens for quick shots made it great. But then I could not fully close my IIIf in its leather case to protect the camera on walkabouts.

I am going to look for my Summitar to put it on my IIIf.
 
After looking I found my Summitar and it was on an extra Leica iiif and the case also had an Elmar 50/2.8 in it that I had forgotten that I had. I will enjoy shooting both.
