  1. Hi, This weekend I found a Leica Summicron-C 40mm f2! I know you can easily find some on Ebay, both the m-rokkor or summicron-c versions, but frankly, I avoid buying lenses on ebay - I much prefer to assess a lens in-person which also sometimes opens the door to negotiations and bargaining. In this case, I was able to bring the price down because I noticed a slight haze on an inner element, noticeable when shining a bright light at an angle, but otherwise the glass was perfect. So I took my chance, knowing that this was probably fungus (or separation?) hoping it might be cleanable. It is by far the tiniest lens in my A7 kit, it is very well built, it focuses very well (when you actually find the focus tab). We got lucky with Arctic temperatures here in Montreal this weekend and using the lens with my gloves on was ... not ideal. I actually froze my fingers a few times I didn't do any "formal" performance analysis, but overall I am really impressed by the results, this is a very capable lens. It is amazingly small and 40mm on full frame is a really nice focal length, very versatile. This is something which amazes me: it is rather unsettling how little photographic impact lens anomalies actually have on the end-result. I have vintage lenses with front and/or rear element scratches, inner fungus or haze and frankly, I have yet to find a situation where there is an obvious impact, maybe excluding flare sensitivity. Here are a few sample pictures taken with this lens.
