David Franklin Posted June 13, 2014 Share #1  Posted June 13, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Dear all, My first post on here though I have been looking for a while. I have a question for lens experts out there. I have always wanted an early chrome 50 Summilux (ver2) and was looking at one the other week. One thing I hadn't realised though was that the aperture only clicked at full stops. I have since read that after a certain serial number, half stops were included. Was this still in that chrome mount though or was that when they had changed to black lenses?  Many thanks for any information you can give  David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lct Posted June 13, 2014 Share #2 Â Posted June 13, 2014 Welcome to the forum . Chrome 50/1.4 v2 lenses have been made in both full stops (before 1964) and half stops (from 1964 to ?) versions AFAIK.
