I bought the 1940s Leica 5cm Summitar lens (Leica gives all its lenses names, some of which denote series of lenses) as a stop gap while I looked for something more ‘modern’ (from the 1950s!). It’s a lens full of period character/softness and this is an article about that illustrated with some very grainy images.

Interestingly, the photo of the MG is my most liked on Insta; probably because it’s an MG.
