rafael_macia Posted December 15, 2008 Share #2 Posted December 15, 2008 I think the lens formula is the same, It has the slide out hood It is more expensive probablyt because it was a so called "Millennium edition" (produced about 2003 actually) They include a 35 Summicron ASPH, a 50 Summilux, and a 90 APO. They look great on a black paint body. Numerals are red and white rather than yellow and white. The 35 has an "retro" black paint hood, round style, like the old series VII hoodsbut which is screwed tight (no Series VII anymore ..) .... They are all brass lenses. The 35 Summicron weighs the same as a 35 Summilux ASPHin black chrome But they are BEAUTIFUL I had all three. Sold them with the advent of the M8, then with the M8.2 got another 35 difficult to find and buy! worth the hunt.... Rafael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
