Michael, Will have to go back and check the Puts book, but, there was no Summilux 50/1.5 there was a SUMMARIT 50/1.5. There were two versions of the Summilux 50/1.4, the first lasted only 2 or 3 years from 1959 to '62/'63 then the current version came out. And your question below, I do not think the 50/1.4 is missing from the book or website. sl > > Does anyone have any idea why this latest version is missing from the Puts > book and web site? > > Michael > www.luminous-landscape.com >
