	I'm interested in this aspect also. Does any version
	of the 50mm/f2 have this finger rest? (I presume that
	Charles is talking about the handy finger tab like
	that on my Summilux 35/f1.4). I've gotten used to it
	and love it.

	Does any version of the Summilux 50/f1.4 have this feature?

	Thanks.
