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? Yes, to me for $250. :<) Keep it and be grateful for what I have? No. If you sell it to me for $250, I'll be grateful for what you had! And it'll look so nice on my M3! :<) Also, any info as to pedigree (and caliber) would be > appreciated. > Carl Socolow All kidding aside, it's a fine lens. I have it's predecessor, the Summitar, which is very nice, and a 1970 vintage Summicron. Your Summicron is reputed to be very close to the performance of the 1970 Summicron, and better than the Summitar. It would have been made in 1956. My advice? Be happy and take some pictures.
