It's a great holiday present for all of us here and I know how much work this represents. Thank you and all the best in the New Year to you and your family.

When I was in the British Army in Germany in Berlin in 1957, a Camera dealer would come to our Military Hospital where i worked and he had a pre-war Leica iii with scratched 50mm f2 Summitar or a pre-war Contax III with 50mm f1.5 Sonnar -- so i bought the Contax for equivalent of £38 and paid it off monthly. Then when I was sent to BMH Iserlohn back in the British Zone (safely away from the Russians!) in the Canadian Maple Leaf store you could get a NEW IIIf with 50mm f3.5 Elmar for £45 !! I didn't get one as I had the Contax already, but the 50mm f1,5 Sonnar was un-coated and could 'flare' easily but I took some good flash shots with a Braun Hobby Automatic I got for £14 new on early Agfa CT18 film. I can Post some examples in the 'lens sample' section if you like.

Yes, please do, Pete, and post the link in this subject.  
I have a 1941 Leica IIIc with a Summitar 2/5cm with haze and separation issues.
Dispite that, the lens gives some results.
The Leitz Summitar 2/5cm mounted on Fuji XPro2 (Apsc format, so uses the more correct center of the lens)
Results unprocessed, direct jpg from camera.
