Could cut it but I prefer to send it back to the seller. My Summilux could be younger than from '97, the original buyer couldn't remeber the exact year. Thanks again, Didier >Yes, there are three versions of thew 75 'lux. The first was made in >Canada and came with a separate hood and used E58 filters.
