henryk_barnas Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Recently I purchased R4 SLR camera and I am looking for 50 mm Summicron R for it. Yesterday I have been offered one of these lenses, made in Canada with build-in hood. All points to second version of Summicron, but serial # on it is 2777958. According to kbcamera.com this is still first version. Could someone help me verify correct version of these lens.Thank you in advance.Henryk.

ronald_moravec1 Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Built in hood defines it a second version. 55mm filter size is also definitive. The first took a clip on hood and series 6 filters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgpinc Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Hi Henryk,Sartorius lists the current E55 (non-rom) version 50 Summicron-R beginning with #2777651. Your offered lens is the current version with built-in hood and E55 filter size. The 50 Summicron-R is an excellent lens. If you need any other Leica R lenses I just happen to have several listed below in an FS listing including a 50 Summicron-R. I am in the U.S. on the west coast which may or may not be convenient for you. Good luck and enjoy your R4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.antiquecameras.net Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 <p> as other have said - this is a current version, 2 cam, 50/2 lens.<p> See my <a href="http://members.aol.com/dcolucci/b.htm">R Lens Price Guide...</a> <p>and you will also see your serial number is in the correct range as well. First version ended with ser # ended 2,777,650..As a two cam, current verion, $ 250 is about the ave price...Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
