Weight 340 grams Front lens diameter 58mm Length 70mm Filter E55 Close focus 1m 2 aspherical curves Built in lens hood Number 11890 interesting point: as the focus becomes larger (to 50mm) the front lens recesses more to use the builtin hood more effectively. _________________________________________________ Sounds like a most wonderful device! At 340 grams, though, it will be one heavy sucker -- it weighs almost as much as a 2/90 Summicron (410 grams). Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bas fir gun ghras fir!
