[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Today I received the latest catalogue update from the German company Monochrom (web site www.monochrom.com) which lists 2 lenses from the Japanese manufacturer Komura for Leica L mount, together with various adaptors for M series. Theses are the 21mm f2.8 and the 28mm f3.5. They also list 21mm, 28mm and 35mm viewfinders in silver and black depending on size (21mm in both). I do not think these are the Cosina lenses but I may be wrong! Also listed are a range of accessories for the camera such as M adaptors, leather straps, cable releases, soft releases, body and lens back caps etc. etc. including a variable length E39 lens hood with opening for gelatin filters (at around $50 in silver and black). I am afraid my German is a bit limited so for an exact translation you will need to rely on one of our German/Swiss/Dutch members, but the information that I can glean is very interesting and prices seem quite reasonable to this Englishman with the over-valued pound!
