This is the version with the detatchable hood and focusing lever. I would rate it ex+++, as there are one or two tiny paint chips removed around the outside of the filter threads from the hood coming on and off. Also a few miniscule flecks in the glass, which I have in most of my other lenses, and in no way effects the pictures. I'm only selling it because I've finally decided I need the extra stop and just bought a used Summilux and can't afford to keep both. $500 plus shipping. With front and rear caps, detatchable hood, and leather case. Please contact me off list. Here's what Stephen Gandy says about this version on Cameraquest.com: "Fifth version 1980-95 Black lens with "50" on barrel, reintroduced focusing lever, without built in hood. In my opinion the best choice of all 50 Summicrons. I am a fan of both the focusing lever and the larger attachable hood. Nice lightweight lens at only 195 grams 6 elements, recomputed."
