I know these last two 50 Summicron designs are optically identical. I like the convenience of the new integrated hood, but does it shield light as well as the older, larger, detachable plastic hood? Another miscellaneous question. Can you (safely) attach a Metz 40MZ flash to a Quantum Turbo battery to reduce recycle times? If not, I assume Metz makes a dedicated auxiliary battery? And a miscellaneous item for sale: Black, original Contax T, with battery and leather presentation case. Cosmetic nicks and scratches, but mechanically and optically superb, $500. John McLeod
