Hello.

Looking for Summicron-R 50mm f/2 Version 2 (Canada): good glass, no oil, smooth focus and aperture movement. External cosmetics less important for the most part.

Thanks in advance,

Jim W.

No love on Ebay on this? Also, look for Leicaflex instead, most often the cheapest way to get the 50. I assume by Version II you mean 2 cam? Even original Leicaflex may easily have the 2-cam, in spite of not needing it.

Hello,

V.2 is a slightly different optical design made in Canada with 3 cams. I am looking everywhere and in the past Photrio has been a good resource.

OK, so you're looking for 3 cam. I am not aware of changes in optical formula, only front barrel was enlarged. Still, 3-cam can come mounted on any Leica R or Leicaflex. R3 is by now not much sought after, same for first version of R4, both can bring in what you need. Often lens is not described well and searching for Summicron-R 50 will not show all relevant to you results.

Thanks for the tip. Will have a look as you suggest.
