Base10 did indeed buy the 35mm lens. Ultimately, price won out over quality. Well, if you look at it that way, quality won, too. I bought the Cosina/Voigtlander f1.7 Ultron. It was a demo for $299 in Adorama. How can you pass that up? It is a good quality lens. Anyway, I'll save the Summicron for another day (probably the day a buy a Leica camera thereby causing a divorce from Mrs. Base10). Besides, I would be very hesitant to take out a Leica body and/or lens in the rain or other foul weather. I would have no problem grabbing a Bessa and a $300 Ultron and taking it out in any weather or throwing it in my bag.

I haven't been able to use it much yet, but some test shots around the house show it to be pretty good. I'll be shooting with this on this week's project.
