The German language brochure calls the front lens "plankonkav" which correctly translates to " plano-concave". The English language brochure calls it "concave plane", which is misleading. Maybe Mr Eastland has been misled too by this ambiguious translation and to be on the save side called it slightly concave. To misquote the famous astronomer who stubbornly claimed that the earth is round, I would now exclaim: and still the first side of the front lens is flat. Erwin Puts
