For anyone interested, there is a black finish 50mm f2 Summicron lens on
Ebay.com.  It's the very early knurled focusing collar version lens made
in Wetzlar and from what I was told is quite rare.

<blockquote>
Leitz Wetzlar 50mm f2 Summicron lens in anodized black finish for Leica M cameras. 
I was told that this lens was produced in very low numbers and is quite rare with the 
knurled focusing mount. Glass is in pristine condition with no marks or scratches on 
coating. The lens barrel has minor wear on the black finish but is still in good condition 
considering its age, This black Wetzlar lens would be great in any Leica collector's display
or is still quite useable as I heard the lenses from this vintage were among the sharpest.
Moderate reserve set on this lens.  Successful buyer to prepay winning bid and shipping costs
with cashier's check or USPS Money Order. NO CODS.

<b><font size=3>Registration Required</font></b><br>
<font size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;eBay requires registration before you can bid on any
item. In order to place your bid, you must register and confirm your registration. Follow this link to <b><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?RegisterShow">become a registered user</a>.</b></font>

<br><br>
<b><font size=3>Binding contract</font></b><br>
<font size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>Important: </b>placing a bid is a binding contract in
many states. Please do not bid unless you intend to buy this item at the amount of your bid.<p>

<b><font size=3>Proxy bidding for all bids</font></b><br>
<font size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Please bid the <strong>maximum amount</strong> you are willing to pay
for this item. Your maximum amount will be kept <b>secret;</b> eBay will bid on your behalf as necessary by increasing your bid by the current bid increment up until your maximum is reached. This saves you the
trouble of having to keep track of the auction as it
proceeds and prevents you from being outbid at the last minute unless your spending limit is exceeded. (See an <a href="http://pages.ebay.com/aw/proxy-bidding.html">example of proxy bidding</a>). Also, in case of a tie for high bidder,
<b>earlier</b> bids take precedence. And, keep in
mind that you cannot reduce your maximum bid at a later
date. Unless otherwise noted, bids are in U.S. dollars.
