And i found two which i will go for one of them, one is called Leitz Wetzlar 50mm Summicron-m (there is 'Leitz Summicron-M 50mm on the lens), serial number is 3446646. The advantage is that your lens will be registered for exchange. We will replace your lens, retaining the same serial number. Update (11/25/13): We are getting some unconfirmed rumblings from dealers that obtaining a new APO-Summicron-M 50mm f/2 ASPH at this time may take until well into (mid) 2014! Repairs are taking precedence over new builds. Later iterations of the classic 7-element 50mm Summicron (serial numbers 993,000-1.030,000) that employ lanthanum (LaK9) glass provide noticeably better imaging performance, especially wide open. However, this and subsequent improvements were the results of tweaks in the optical design, not the type of glass used. Rodenstock Retina-Eurygon f:4/35mm (DKL mount, Serial 4203237) Rodenstock Heligon 50mm f/2 (Kodak Retina II, serial 2052276) Rodenstock Retina-Heligon f:1,9/50mm (DKL mount, Serial 4471524, 4752831. Could be slightly radioactive, but too low to be measured.) Rodenstock XR-Heligon f/0.75 50mm (serial 9723511).
