Leica 50 cron (current) help

[Avotius]

So I got my eye on this lens here http://www.digifan.cn/detail.asp?ID=2772 but looking at the last photo of the lens there seems to be some grey marks on the brass, I dont know if these or normal or heavy wear or something. Can anyone help me out on this?

Even though I had my heart set on a planar, recently holding one and feeling that it had the same wobble that my cv skopar had was kind of unnerving....

Looks like grease to me too.

is that something I should be worried about or just wipe off with no problems or something?

no, looks ok. When you get it and there is too much, you can wipe it off.

Fantastic, thats what I needed to know. The gf and I last night finally put the whole issue to rest. We rock paper scissored to see if we should get the planar or the summicron, and it came out even, then we flipped a coin each 3 times, she had two for the planar one for the cron, I had two for the cron and one for the planar, then we decided to put our hands together and throw the coin and the strangest thing happened, the coin landed exactly on its edge and stayed that way! Finally the last coin toss told me to get the summicron. Someone screwing with fate had as much trouble as I did deciding which to get I guess.
