No rangefinder cam. I can't find any mention of it any book I've got. Anyone out there ever seen one before and have any idea what sort of performance I can expect from it? When does it date from? (looks ancient but I presume 1950s). What sort of a design is it? - presumably the name means a hybrid of Biotar and Tessar, but what that might be I can't guess. - jack -- Jack Campin -- Room 1.36, Department of Computing & Electrical Engineering, Mountbatten Building, Heriot-Watt University, Riccarton, Edinburgh EH14 4AS TEL: 031 449 5111 ext 4195 HOME: 031 556 5272 FAX: 031 451 3431 INTERNET: jack@cee.hw.ac.uk BITNET: via UKACRL BANG!net: via mcsun & uknet
