100 Strangers Extra Photo Of Sue (70 years old Leitz vintage lens)

I'm sharing an extra photo of stranger number 348 Sue in my 100 strangers series.

I wanted to showcase how fabulous my late fathers 70 year old vintage Leitz lens is.

The 50 mm f3.5 Leitz Elmar lens is beautiful bit of engineering. It is tiny, lightweight and collapses to a wafer thing pancake when not in use. In fact I have to put elastic hair bands around the barrel so I cannot collapse it on my Sony A6000 as the end of the lens would touch the sensor !

Anyway less of the geeky stuff, this is Sue, shot on a wet and grey afternoon and as you can see the lens is pretty stellar for 70 years old !
