The Ross Trinol was my first ever long-focus LTM lens back in '66. Very
soft at full bore, and vignetted like crazy when stopped down. I swapped it
for a 90/4 Elmar as soon as I could afford the extra cash. Now that was a
very crisp little lens.

Still, I suppose it's collectable. Just don't use it.... ;-)
