I have one of these, serial 401xxx - one thing about it has puzzled me, the built-in hood extends fine but does not twist and lock like on the ASPH lens.  So it functions fine but can just be pushed back.  Is this a fault or were they built like this?

Yes, the 11613 model number has not been used before.  I wouldn't get hung up on the 392nnnn serial number because Leica allocates serial number ranges in batches as they produce items and if an alloc

They are just built like this. But they should still have just enough resistance not to slip inadvertently.

Black paint 50 Summilux pre- in mint condition was my very first Leica M lens. Wish I had never sold it, of course. I still have the receipt: Aperture London

Don't suppose you remember the millennium serial number? Asking as a collector with a couple of bodies and 35s. Stillo on the hunt for matching lux.

Same design as 50/2 v5, 75/1.4, 90/2 apo, 90/2 v3, 90/2.8 v2 and 135/3.4. Only exceptions i know of: 50/2 apo (twist), 50/1.4 asph (twist and lock), 75/2 (twist and lock) but there are possibly others.

For the record, another exception with twist and lock hood: 75/1.125 Noctilux asph.

Pete.
