I am baffled. I am looking at my Summicron 50mm/2, chrome version, brand
new, and I have seldom seen a more beautiful piece of lens engineering. In
fact, I find it looks and handles even better than my former R-lenses. I
remember my Nikon Series E lenses. and there is no comparison.

There must be something wrong with that lens!
