 Anyone have idea of the lens and the hood? 

Thanks

That’s correct. The lens is a 50th Anniversary Heliar 50mm f/2.

Lots more information if you scroll down far enough on this page:

I have that Heliar, and it is a beautiful lens, Nickel-plated and styled like the rare rigid Summar of the 1930s. It looks right at home on old Leicas. The design does have significant focus shift as it stops down, so even stopping from f2 to f2.8 causes some softness at the intended focal plane, but it can make beautiful images.

Voigtlander also made an f3.5 Heliar (also nickel plated) at the same time, that is a collapsible lens. It is an excellent performer that also looks at home on ltm bodies.

How’s the difference between the heliar with the Summicron?

it is perfect with film?

I can’t find sample photos taken by this lens.

but I am very interested with its design

Voigtlander seems to be reintroducing similar design lenses. See the recent 40mm f/2,8 Heliar.

The Heliar design has only 5 elements, and so is not as well corrected as the Summicrons, which have more elements. The Heliar will have more "glow" wide open, and will seem softer stopped down due to the focus plane shift. (It can be quite sharp, but may appear sharpest beyond the intended focus point.) So I'd say it is not a lens for "pixel peepers" who value sharpness above all else. However can produce rather "romantic" images.

Voigtlander pointed out that this was the first Heliar design pushed to f2.0 speed. The f3.5 version is more capable for the 5 elements.

More recently Voigtlander has a 50mm f1.5 Heliar design - likely possible with newer types of optical glass.

i love the outlook of this Anniversary edition 
I just shoot on film and have a summicron for sharpness 
However the 1m close focus is a issue for me.... Not close up enough for portrait....
