What is the difference between series VI and VII? There is a series VII hood with series VII filter on that Elmarit 2.8/35 I bought and it fits. Thanks for your comments. I used this lens a few times and my first impressions were that it is a good allrounder. I would be interesting for me to know about the difference to the newer Summicron and Summilux. I´ve experiences with the M 35 Summilux ASPH only and that´s my absolute favorit on the M6.
