I tested my 1946-47 LEICA IIIc + 50mm f2 Summitar using some outdated KB49 slow film -- the SHUTTER has faults -- slow speeds 'intermittent' and not sure how accurate 1/100th was but I got a few test Negs using ID11 1+3 dilution and lens seems sharp ! Didn't use the F2 as light was too good but mainly f4 , f5.5 and couple of f6.3
