Same is true for bodies. Legend or fact? I have never seen a pair, so I don;t know. Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net Does anyone know what the asterisk at the end of the serial number on a 50mm Summicron means?>>> That is true, but Leica also used the * to indicate that some parts have been refurbished or changed. I think they also use it when they upgrade some cameras (like adding flash synch, converting from one model to another etc.) So I have been told. It is not as clear cut as many things Leica... later, Rich
