Want to Buy 50 Summicron or 50 Summitar

Looking for either; the front element on my 50 Summitar starting decementing, and it's not worth repairing...so I would like to either replace it with another clean Summitar, or take a step up to an early Summicron: a collapsible is fine if it's in good shape, or an early rigid would be okay as well. Don't care about goggles if it's a DR, because I don't shoot up close very much. Wear and tear on the outside is fine, as long as there's no abuse; my main concern is the quality of the glass and correct function.

It sounds like you have an M body (so a M mount lens would be OK)? If so, do you want M mount lens or would a screw mount be ok?

It's going on my busted M3, so either M- or screw-mount is fine. Thanks for asking; I totally forgot about that specification when I posted.

Sent you a PM

Thanks, David; will catch up with you there.

G'day Sundowner, what do you intend to do with the de-cementing lens ?

Haven't decided yet, honestly. I may keep it out of sentiment (it was so good to me!) or I may sell it (stupid lens!!).
