George, I have the latest, collapsing hood style Summicron 50 and I stuck
the older style focussing lever on it. The focussing 'tab" has two small
plastic pins on the inside curve, so I drilled a couple of holes in the
barrel, slightly oversized and took some emery cloth and "roughed" up the
barrel surface between the holes to give the 2-part epoxy used something to
grip. It works fine..........
