I was counting this way:

First version 1954-1957 Collapsible chrome, 7 elements, focused to 40"
Second version 1956-68 Rigid chrome, 7 elements, focused to 40"
Third version 1956-1968 Dual Range Summicron, chrome, 7 elements
Fourth version 1969-1979 Black lens with no "50" on barrel
Fifth version 1980-95 Black lens with "50" on barrel, reintroduced focusing lever, without built in hood.
Sixth version 1995-date Black or chrome  lens with "50" on barrel and built in hood

Well there was the collapsible, that's 1.
Then there was the rigid/DR, that's 2.
Then there is the six element, that's 3.

What did I miss?
