Limited edition, retro look, large price. Collector's item. Just like anything made in small batches. Or with special features.

From our marketing manager at Leica USA: "The construction and optical performance are identical to those of the actual Summicron 50mm, but its design is inspired by the first non-collapsible Summicron, which came on the market in the mid fifties." Sounds as if we are talking about the same furniture, in a retro house. ;-) K. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of bdcolen Sent: Wednesday, February 05, 2003 2:20 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: RE: [Leica] Re: M 50mm f/2.0 50 Year Summicron Better image than the current Summicron 50? - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of Lucien Sent: Wednesday, February 05, 2003 3:59 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: Re: [Leica] Re: M 50mm f/2.0 50 Year Summicron bdcolen wrote: > Wow!
