This details the CLE's use and (if I remember correctly) the lenses too. You may wish to know that the lens will not activate the 28mm frames on your M6. This can be rectified (permanently and irreversibly) by any competent repairer, as a small activating lug needs to be filed down. I have recently sold one of these lenses to a professional 'Art' photographer who'd lost his Elmarit 28mm, he's very happy with it. (-a very subjective report!) There is a common fault that develops and with which you can maybe bargain the price down, the rear element seems to lift off a black painted internal holder. This produces whitish looking bubbles seen from the rear, internally. It doesn't saeem to afeect performance much, if at all. It's rare to see a lens without this problem. The lens cap is very rare, these have been seen for sale at $250 I believe, it's a very effective lens cap providing no loss of picture during viewing. best of luck, Jem ============= NASEN Dave Purchase wrote: > 3.
