Leica M8 with Leica Summar again

Have always liked this lens, uncoated, slight cleaning marks on front element, flares like a bitch if you are not careful, ancient style f numbers on aperture ring, but lovely smooth focus, small and light and by default cheap. This example was made in 1934 and works as well today as it probably ever did. How many of today's lenses will still be in regular use in 80 years time.
Just like the look and feel you get with vintage lenses. Still, cranking it up to f5.6 + and sharp enough for me.

Here is a selection of shots taken whilst out and about.

 No fiddling. Straight out the cam.



These taken at Wistow.






 And to finish on something completely different.
