Hope that helps. > >Regards, >Charles > Charles John is correct about the matching shade being 12524 for the 4th version 35/2 summicron-M. It is not easy to get and I was fortunate when one of the LUGgers had one to spare. In appearance it is very similar to the 12426 (which I would have "borrowed" from my 35/2 asph lens if I had not got the genuine one). The 12504 is matched for the 35/1.4 lux (pre asph), can be used on quite a few other lenses, and it takes ser VII filters.
