Thanks LeicaTom. What is E.P. by the way. I am not aware of...the seller was saying, it might be used by military,is that true?

The lens is I think not EP. Where do you have EP mark on lens if it is?
Cheers,

You've got yourself a hell of a nice rig, there. I've had a P and currently have the 1.2, and they are terrific. If both are <EP> it's quite collectible as well! I believe you've gotten a tremendous bargain.

The EP means it was meant for sale at a military base. nothing special about the camera mechanically, but it's more uncommon than the usual version.

Hi Mabelsound, thank you very much...I like that couple a lot too, But believe me , I liked it on my M6 more I think 🙂 How can I check if the lens is EP too?

Collapsible Summitar is no trouble on the Canon P. It can only collapse in a position where the locking tabs won't scrape on the baffles.

If the Serenar is the 50/1.9, I suspect the same applies, since the mechanics of that lens (but not the optical formula) are pretty much a copy of the Summitar.
