Leica marked fifty years of the Summicron with order number 11615, a silver chrome 50mm f/2 limited to 1,000 lenses. The barrel is a deliberate reworking of the 1950s rigid Summicron, though without the infinity lock, while the optics are the modern six-element design focusing to 0.7m behind an E39 filter thread. At about 260 grams it is appreciably heavier than the black anodised lens. Chrome anniversary Summicrons come up far less often than the standard version.
