Two others, 50 and 35 Summicrons have the tab focus system. I have come to the conclusion that I prefer the lenses without tabs. I used to have a non-tabbed 50 Summicron and regret that I sold it. Is anyone interested in discussing a lens trade for lenses of comparable quality? I believe my 1985 50/2 tabbed Summi is the same optical formula as later non-tabbed 50's. I don't recall if 35 Summis were made without tabs. Bill Lawlor
