It's just a Plain Jane hood. No vents. You might find it easier to use. I've never tried it on the DR. I think it came on a 35/3.5 Summaron that I owned years ago. But it's engraved "Summaron 3.5cm / Summicron 5.0cm" so I'm sure it'll work on the 50 DR. Not sure it's reversable on that lens, though. Take a look at http://www.lightcurves.com/leica/image12.htm I forgot that I even had it. I was actually going to put it up for sale on the LUG tomorrow. If you want I can mail it to you. Keep the one that works best and mail back the other. Let me know. I'd be glad to send it. Dave At 05:29 PM 11/28/2001 -0800, you wrote: > And the focussing mount > > was also changed.
