Sorry Jeremy, the only thing I can remember is that there were a number 
of them (I believe 8) mounted together in different directions, and that 
on the lens barrel it was said "ELCAN - made in Canada", and that the 
lens opening was f/2.8. But I don't recall the exact focal length. I 
should have written it down! I suspect these lenses must be quite 
excellent, how could they otherwise serve for reconnaissance purposes 
from at or around a supersonic speed.
