There is a 50/2.4L Hexanon (collapsible LTM lens, in titanium finish) and a 50/2 M-Hexanon (M-mount, fixed). In L (LTM) lenses, there were (in chron order) 35/2L Hexanon - remounted from Hexar AF (Summicron clone) 50/2.4L Hexanon - Zeiss Planar type 60/1.2L Hexanon - rerun of 1950s 60/1.2L Hexanon 35/2L UC-Hexanon - second version of the Hexar RF lens These are all definitely to Leica spec (there is some dispute about whether M-Hexanons are). All are relatively rare and expensive.
