Low Voltage - Leica CL, Summicron 50

[Godfrey]

Lovely photos!

Okay, you all got me curious. My Summicron-M 50mm fits into this serial number category on the Leica Wiki:
-4095257 4095733- Summicron-M f=5cm 1:2 (M-black-11826) 2008-2009 487+

It has the built-in lens hood. So which version is that?
Doesn't really matter much to me, I'm just curious. It seems an excellent performer on the CL, also on the M10-M and M10-R. I've been using it most on the M10-M of late.

Type 5 would have the built in lenshood.... started in 1995

Thanks!

It's a lovely lens. I usually use a screw in, rigid lens hood rather than the pull out hood when I have it mounted on a color camera. But since I most often use it with an orange or green filter on the M10-M, I don't like to risk vignetting due to stacking the filter and lens hood: I use the pull-out hood in that case.
