[Leica] Re: charlie trentelman's 127 mm anistigmat

hey bob,

thanks, that helps a lot -- i was beginning to wonder if i had something 
unheard of before, no web searches turned up anything on this, and the 
silence 
from the rest of the list was deafening...

so it's an early part of the run, eh? It needs its focus cam adjusted -- 
camera won't go to infinity with it on, but after 60   years and a couple of 
good 
knocks, waddaya expect, eh?   Took some test photos this morning and then 
got 
tired of hauling all that weight around, i swear it weighs as much as an m3 
body.

thanks again,

charlie
