Hello Olivier,

I'd like to refer you to an excellent article by Erwin Puts on the Leica
Historical Society of America's website entitled "The Evolution of Leica
50/2 Lenses". It's extremely informative on the questions you are asking.
Maybe the following address will act as a hot link for you to go to it
directly:

Hope this helps!
