What I was hoping to do was to be able to recognize when someone had for sale the specific next-to-last version of the 50 Summicron by it's serial number. I guess that's not a reasonable expectation. I have a Rigid Summicron but I've been thinking about adding a newer 'Cron. I would want the last version with removable lens shade, not the one currently being built.
