Thanks! Ya know I was thinking about this image, and how I could not have timed it right using an SLR.. with a Leica M, there is very little lag between pushing the button and the shutter firing. WIth an SLR, you have to wait for the mirror to flip up etc.
This was a single shot, and I knew I got it because I was using an M. Pretty cool.

Have you had the 35 Summaron for a while? I have wondered about it for a while - Thought it might make a nice companion to my V1 Summicron
Have had it for less than a week. I was quite unaware of its reputation until I started posting to a Leica Camera Forum thread titled The view through older Glass. As you might expect members post pictures made with all kinds of exotic vintage lenses but I was captivated by the Summaron 35 images. It’s not only a great favourite at the LCF but Ken Rockwell loves it too! I think would make the perfect companion to your v1 Summicron 50.
However, different versions were produced—mainly with goggles (for the M3) and without them (for the M2), both of which work on modern Leica cameras. The goggles squeeze the 35mm field of view into the M3’s 50mm framelines. The goggled version is cheaper but you need to avoid an M3 version from which the goggles have been removed to make it look like the more expensive M2 one. The pitfalls are explained in this post. I got a late production M2 version and am delighted with it.

Well, you sold me! It had been on my radar for a bit. I was aware that the goggled versions brought up the 50mm framelines on newer M's, but I didn't realize people are trying to pass off the old ones as the newer un-goggled version.
I'll definitely be on the lookout for one.

That would only be fair since you sold me on the Collapsible Summicron!

That's right! I like the idea of a character rendering M kit to go alongside my more modern rendering lenses
