I wonder if others have noticed this. > Andrew, I used the Aspherical and found myself always focusing with the lever. I still use the previous 50mm Summicron because of the lever. And also : - - because of the removable lens hood which allow the use of the former M Polfilter, - - because the front cap never stayed on the new 50/2 - - because I think, (and I'm maybe wrong), that the old lens hood was more effective than the new sliding hood, specially with filters. (as a lens hood and as a protection). Same problems with the new 50mm Summilux and Noctilux. Anyway I don't miss something because the lens computations in those 3 new lenses are the same as in their predecessors. - -- Lucien Brussels - Belgium
