Love the 50.
;-)


The DR will focus to 48/51 cm with the eyes.

v03 1969-79 (from circa 2,268,00-2,995,00).

The third version of the Summilux from 1995-2004 also goes to .70cm .
This is the version with the collapsible hood. All of the versions of the Lux
with the clip-on hood only go to 1 meter.
