Well, here's the rest of the communique (obviously translated from German,
Leica-style). -K

"The anniversary version of the LEICA SUMMICRON-M 50 mm f/2 comes in an
exclusive cardboard box wearing an embossed print of the technical lens
drawing and is supplied with a clip-on type metal hood in classic design,
designed as a protection against stray light as well as possible mechanical
damages. It is conceived in such a way that it infringes only minimally the
vision through the viewfinder. This lens hood can also be fitted on the lens
in the reverse position for storing. The lens is delivered with a suiting
metal lens cap with an embossing of the classic Leica logo but a plastic
lens cap suiting the lens with reversed lens hood on is also provided. The
package also contains a leather case, which can contain the lens with the
lens hood in storage position."

Does this mean that the lens will have a removable lens head
that can be on the Viso?  If so, that might make a viable
purchase!

those of the

first
| non-collapsible Summicron, which came on the market in the
mid fifties."

| Sounds as if we are talking about the same furniture, in a
retro house. ;-)
