Subject: [Leica] Cosina Contarex?

This week's Amateur Photographer has a report on the 125mm f2.5 SL Macro
Apolanthar with an accompanying photograph. It looks remarkably like the
(Zeiss) 135mm Sonnar for the Contarex complete with milled aluminium ring,
tapering black barrel and bayonet filter mount. Whatever the merits of the
lens, if Hirofumi Kobayashi is going to make available hoods and filters to
fit Contarex lenses some will be very happy. Whence the Bessa Bullseye?

Also (for Leica relevance) details of LTM 28mm f1.9 Ultron Aspherical and
90mm f3.5 Apolanthar.

Regards.
