With 50mm/f2 Summicron lens (black). 5th edition. Built in focus lever. 50 
on barrel.Detachable Hood. UV Filter. Lens cap. S/N 330xxxx. Mint.
Here's what Stephen Gandy has to say about it:

"Fifth version 1980-95  Black lens with "50" on barrel, reintroduced 
focusing lever, without built in hood. In my opinion the best choice of all 
50 Summicrons.  I am a fan of both the focusing lever and the larger 
attachable hood.  Nice lightweight lens at only 195 grams  6 elements, 
recomputed." http://www.cameraquest.com/mlenses.htm

And having used it, I completely agree.

Please e-mail me privately at byronw77@hotmail.com if you would like to make 
me a reasonable offer or require further information. I will leave it for 
one week (7/7/00-14/7/00 5pm) and sell to the highest offer. Reserve price 
£1550. (UK only.)
Sale regrettably due to other financial commitments, and one to many cameras 
that never get used much.
