My 50 Summicrons are with DAG for some minor surgery. So, when we went to friends for first night of Hanukkah, I
thought I'd fool with my old 1949 Summitar. It's a time machine lens. At f/4, it's good, solid 1950s. At f/2.8 it's
1940s. And at f/2, it is 1930s with a touch of Dada and Surrealism if treated right.
In this shot, I went wide open and let the lens be itself. It obliged.

Enjoy!
I did!
OTOH, it's not entirely up to the lens, as the shot is through glass (double?) with reflections. I do that sort of
thing, too. 🙂
I have a modest menagerie of old lenses. The LTM Canon 50/1.2, from 1956, and FL mount 58/1.2, 1962, do indeed show
their special stuff wide open.
