I feel the current design is very good. I don't know of any Aspheric 50mm
lenses currently made by Leica. Some don't like the current Summicron
because it has a built in hood, but I have had no problems with it's use.
The lens is a dream and deserves it's reputation hands down. The previous
version is the same optically I understand but uses a clip on lens hood,
which most people here prefer. You really can't go wrong with either of
the latest versions in my opinion.

Hi all again,
I want to purchase a 50mm/2 Summicron lens. Following some experts, one of
the most highly rated Leica lens. But I am a newbie and there is a lot of
variations of this lens. My pockets do not permit ASPH so I have to decide
between:
Collapsible
Rigid
Dual Range
Ealier black Summicron
Last generation pre-ASPH Summicron ("50" market on the lens barrel).
I have read in cameraquest that early black summicron is a notch down the
later ones.
I would be very grateful to hear opinions about (experts and users)
Thanks a lot,
Rafael
