Hi all again,
I want to purchase a 50mm/2 Summicron lens. Following some experts, one of
the most highly rated Leica lens. But I am a newbie and there is a lot of
variations of this lens. My pockets do not permit ASPH so I have to decide
between:
Collapsible
Rigid
Dual Range
Ealier black Summicron
Last generation pre-ASPH Summicron ("50" market on the lens barrel).
I have read in cameraquest that early black summicron is a notch down the
later ones.
I would be very grateful to hear opinions about (experts and users)
Thanks a lot,
Rafael
