Subject: [Leica] Leica NJ and Nocti - now 75 Summilux focal length

I thought that 75.5 would have been an 05? I know my  50mm Summilux asph is
14 and it is known to have the focal length of 51.4mm.

I was just surprised there was that big a jump, it is a 1982 mkII if that
makes any difference?

I think this means that your 75's focal length is actually 75.5 mm. Perhaps
someone more knowledgeable can confirm this

Yep, M9 and all lenses went off at the same time. Both the Noctilux and 75mm
Summilux were 6-bit coded during the trip.

As an aside, my 75mm has the number 50 sideways to the m/feet marks - does
that mean it is an 80mm? Are they all like that??
