Could someone please clarify which of the rigid 50mm Summicrons have
removeable heads.  I own two of them, one from about 1967 ser #2108759 and
another from about '79, ser #3021668, the former is chrome, the latter
black.  These lenses are obviously 2 different versions (of 4?) since
production began in the early 1950s.  While I have not applied any force to
remove the heads, nothing about its removal appears obvious with either of
them as it is with an Elmarit 90 or Hecktor 135.  I would really like to buy
and use one of these close-focus SOOKY-M devices if I can.  Could anyone
enlighten us.  Thanks.
