John, is this definately the case? The earlier lens was designed by Dr Mandler? I assumed so but was told that it was the later version with the built in hood. I can't find a definitive answer!

I have the same lens, I bought it after reading a comment somewhere by a pro who used to use the R system, sold it all for Nikon gear but missed the 'Mandler Summicron' so much he bought another body/lens.
