Also did you have lens shades on all? Speaks well of all three. Like the Rolls-Royce, there are some things in this world which bespeak unigue attainments and qualities. All the tests in existence can't quantify the results and the little things such as visual impact create the emotional desire reflected in these items. Leica has it, while Zeiss, I think, never attained it. Hassie seems to have come very close, while Rollei hasn't. Oh, a while ago there was a thread regarding the disassembly of lenses. I recently came across a Hektor 135 in screw mount for $79 (can.). Price reflected that the focus is stiff (doesn't feel like its binding, no scraping sounds). I know from the group that the lens doesn't go for a lot of $. Cosmetically it doesn't look abused. Any thoughts? Is it worth getting and having CLA'd. What tube is required to use with the visflex - and what is availabilty? Brian Levy, J.D. Agincourt Ont. dlevy@worldy.com
