Subject: 50 Summicron

Opinions, judgements and platitudes wanted: I have a 50 Summicron serial
#1449873 made in Wetzlar. It's chrome, has very slight cleaning marks on
front element, and the front section unscrews presumably for use on visoflex
or some similar retrofitted device. Question is, should I sell it and buy
a.) Summicron DR; b.) used current Summicron; c.) Keep it and be grateful
for what I have? Also, any info as to pedigree (and caliber) would be
appreciated.
