Any user opinions on this lens? It's available at considerably less than
the current Summicron equivalents, but is it worth getting? Will I be
disappointed? I'm looking specifically for performance at max aperture.

I just bought a Rolleiflex SL35 E and I need your help! The camera is in
excellent condition but it didn't come with a user manual. I managed to
figure out all the knobs and buttons except one little lever at the back of
the camera, on right side. This lever is in vertical position ...

Came across some nice nikkor lenses (been using a couple on my E1 with an
adapter) but want to be able to use these on film as well. What is a decent
manual focus body that is cheap? Must have full manual exposure control and
A priority would be a nice bonus. Not interested in AF or ...

I've just received Provia 100F slides taken on a recently purchased 167MT
with the 50 f1.7 Planar.  6 out of the 39 slides are seriously over-exposed
(say by 2 stops or more), and I'm wondering whether this is a known problem
