Initial images seem nice. Superbly sweet exterior details for a vintage lens. Looks like an aperture close down lever for depth of field preview. The lever built in a classical manner for the era. Dig the extra touches in the black and red engravings. Especially the engraved symbols to help guide selection for aperture range based on predicted lighting exposure: Window at f1.7 / Cloud at f4 / Sun at f11.

I must admit that the DA 21 is indeed growing on me... in the situations where it's good - it's really good...

I have an Electro 35 and I must say it is an awesome rangefinder...

If you're diggin the adapted rangefinder lenses, look for a Minolta Himatic 7 or so... That is a great lens as well.

I did not perform the adaptation - I bought Frankenstein's Bride from an eBay seller.....
