If you settle on the current 50/2 Summicron-M, I have one in near mint
condition (perfect optics and mechanics), which I bought 6 months ago,
with 2.5 years of Passport warranty left on it (in my name), for $695.
It's black, serial #382xxxx (can't remember the full s/n off the top of my
head).  Original owner, with box, manuals, etc.  This is the current
version with built-in hood.

If you need an M6 I am also selling one (under a year old, original owner,
M6 TTL 0.72x, $1350).
