A post-war old Summitar. With alot of bubbles
We all know that the "perfect 50" in the world - Summilux 50mm ASPH we all love to shoot wide open was actually derived from its version 1 which shares the same 7 elements in 5 groups with 2 air space in between 2nd and 3rd glass like the lens in the picture. Of course not before giving birth to the "the father of street photography" - Summicron 50mm (that Henri Cartier Besson love so much)
Perhaps only the Great Grand Daddy of the Double Gauss principle will know whats going on - Sumar 5cm f2 (which is resting in the dry box for old age)

Are you not using a SNHOO and the hood? No bubbles here. Later version with hexanon aperture blades. Had the rounded aperture earlier version also which was not coated.

wow. Summitar full set and MINTY! I slipped the chance of owning a SNHOO and got the gomy one instead. Custom made for A36. Functional but not as shiny as the original one lah.
Oh, I find the Summitar hood is the ugliest thing on earth. But if you are collecting.. well...
Not sure if anyone should find this useful... I personally think this is excellent for someone like me who can't fork out USD500 for the original book...
