[Leica] WTB: DR or Rigid Summicron mount

[len-1 at comcast.net (Leonard Taupier)]

Thanks for the clarification John. I knew one of them had a tab but  
not owning either I didn't know which. Some people call the  
collapsable type 1. Depends on who you talk to. So Luis has the  
current formulation before they added the built in hood.

Thanks,
Len
