I have a iiif RD with 50mm Summicron f2 Collapsible. Wonderful lens and camera. I shot with it extensively a ten years ago or so. Now I just exercise it once in a while. Shot this entire gallery with it:
http://photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=311283 It hasn’t been CLA ed in the 15 years I’ve owned it. Probably not anytime recent before that either, as I bought it from an estate, and the seller said it hadn’t been used in many years. Would love to get it serviced. Will one of these days. The lens is very clean but the aperture blades are sticky. The camera shutter is accurate but the rangefinder mirror could definitely use cleaning.
