This is the lens I was looking to go this summer in flea markets and other burgs scholarships. It is certain that the plastic in which it folds to be protected in a pocket could advantageously be replaced with the same leather because I see resist evil time. The quality of the glass is more than enough to go watch closely a marking on an object or a stamp on an old postcard. Its compact, as its prices explain that I put 5 stars .. but it's not the Leica!
