Subject: Re: [Leica] Help identify a 50 Summicron R lens

Send it back!!

It is from 1984 and could be a 11215 with three cams or a 11216 with just a
R cam. It has a built in telescoping lens hood and takes E55 filters.

I do not have any "R" stuff but judging by eBay and Leica-user's for sale
Fridays, it worth much less than a similar vintage and condition "M" lens.
Say $300US as compared to $500US.
