[Leica] IMG: Old Lens Revisited

[Philippe]

Thanks Jim

And speaking of lace, my ageing aunt lives in Caudry, and has connections there with the people who weaved the lace for the last British Royal Weddings. As a gift for us, she’s ordered a table cloth from the same manufacturer that provided the lace for the weddings … still to be delivered though as it is hand made and a long process.

>>> In the late 1980s, on a visit to Ft. Worth, TX, I found an interesting lens in a consignment shop.  It was a Soligar 35mm f/2 (C/D) lens made by Tokina for Soligar, and the C/D indicates it was "Computer Designed".  Needing a 35 to fill in the gaps of my Spotmatic M42 lenses, I bought it.  In researching it this morning, I found that it does not have the Red "P", designating a Professional Model, so it is from standard production, which started in 1975.  The thing that got my attention was that it focuses right on the mark at Infinity, and focuses continuously down to about 8 inches.
