But, separate hoods are a good thing! Better performance in all aspects except price. best of light Alistair - -----Original Message----- From: Sander van Hulsenbeek [mailto:vanhulsenbeek@wxs.nl] Sent: Sunday, October 31, 1999 8:00 AM To: Leica-Users Subject: Re: [Leica] Summilux 50 (current M-model) vs previous model? Hi! Yesterday I was tempted to purchase a Summilux 50mm, the model that focuses not closer than 1 meter and has the - delectable - detachable sunhood. This was reported by the dealer to be the previous model, that is opossed to the currrent, which should optically be identical, but has an inbuilt sunhood. Is the previous model as good as the current? What experience do LUG-gers have with the detachable sunhood? Any other commentary? All very much appreciated and thanks for replying!
