Default Re: Which 50mm Cron?

Bob, I agree with Michael's advice. I have the 1966 version (whatever that one is) and the results have never left me wanting a later version. However, buying blind from abroad is a gamble so far as quality description is concerned. While you have a money-back guarantee, it is frustrating having to return goods if they do not meet your expectations.

I have dealt with Ffordes who are good honest dealers and thoroughly recommended. Whoever you settle for dealing with, I would ask some searching questions on relative condition of the lenses offered; even asking for email pictures at a higher magnification than you are able to view on their website. Good dealers want to keep well satisfied customers. Good luck in your choice.
