Hello,

 Recently, I noticed that the first version of the 35 Summicron in chrome
finish with 8 elements fetched far more than the black version, generally
more than $1100.  I wonder why.  Is it due to its rarity?  I have heard and
read that the fourth version is the best in optical performance.  If it is
due to rarity, how rare is it?

Thanks,
David
