Leica Glass 40 years ago was superb quality and in your hands you proved it with your M8. Outstanding B&W images.1st shot with 50mm Summicron, 2nd with 135mm Elmar, both lenses over 40 yrs old.

Most excellent! The basic job of a lens is to gather and focus light. I think you just showed that good glass, regardless of all the new coatings, is still good glass! Love the first shot.

Thanks guys, the Summicron actually goes back to 1958, makes over 60 yrs. These lens as old as they are are perfect in every way, no haze or dust on glass.
