Julian,
I believe there are 4 pre-ASPH versions and the 3rd version is =
Canadian and is just as good as the German manufacture.

Can anyone help me with a difficult identification? There is a 35mm =
non-ASPH Summicron on eBay, which seems to match Stephen Gandy's =
description of the latest non-ASPH, escept for one feature. According =
to Stephen's description, the front should either be inscribed LEITZ =
LENS MADE IN CANADA or LEICA. The one pictured on eBay says LEITZ. =
Could this be another variant of the latest non-ASPH?
=20
Thanks for any help.........Julian
