The dual range summicron's detachable eyes (and the eyes for the 35/3.5 summaron) apparently have a little tab that needs to be machined off (as the previous owner had done). The collapsible lenses need to have some tape wrapped around the barrel to prevent them from damaging the meter arm when collapsed. Finally the 21/4 BM, the 21/4 SM with BM adapter, the 21/3.4 below serial no. 2473251 and the 28/2.8 below serial no.2314921 all need to have the bayonet mount machined so that the meter arm will not be damaged. All this info is from Leica and I would cheerfully pass on the full details about the collapsible lenses if needed. > From: Bill Satterfield <cwsat@cyberhighway.net> > > Just bought a mint- 3 lugger from original owner.
