It sounds like you are describing the Dual Range Summicron (DR for short). If so, in order to use the short focus range of the lens, you must clip on the auxilliary viewfinder (the 'eyes'). When attached, the lens will focus in the short range ONLY. The eyes must be removed before the lens can be used for normal use. Dan C.
