I'm thrilled with the performance of the Summaron, it has both resolution, sharpness, and a softness of "bokeh" that older lenses are famous for. I have some photos taken with the Summaron on my M3 in my PAW 2004 Gallery. They are only needed on the original M3 or the 0.85x M7/MP. On the 0.72x M7 and M2, the goggles are really unnecessary because they have 35mm framelines built-in. One advantage of the goggles - the Summaron focuses down to 0.65 meters, which is closer than the regular 0.7 meters achievable on M-rangefinders.

LEICA LENSES SERIAL NUMBER
Mine is an early unit, around 1959 using the serial number as a guide. So, in order to get around this, the Summaron had "goggles" mounted on it which enlarged the field of view, forcing the 50mm framelines to be the equivalent of 35mm. This is the original six-element version designed for the Leica M3, which did not have framelines for the 35mm perspective. I'm not sure who got the better deal, but I'm pretty happy.
