[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I'm thinking about buying an R-50mm summicron, but one of the earlier of the new version--Canadian, built-in hood, serial #287xxxx or something like that. Anybody know if it'll really work fine on an R8? I've heard there isn't much difference in sharpness between the early and later numbers of that model. And I forgot to find out if it is 3-cam before I bid on it on ebay (I'm high bidder at the moment). I just need a cheap 50mm and I'm hoping something like that will be fine. Any comments/advice beyond what you generous luggers have already offered me on this issue? Thanks, Yoder
