Ha-rumph. Thanks to the courtesy of another member of this List, I now own the World's Largest Known Collection of Trinols -- two! Made by National Optical in England. A large-format lens. Remounted for LTM by Stewartry in Scotland. The only known LTM lens to be marked "Made in Scotland" (which is why I own two!). Roger, you really DO need a copy of that sterling work, NON-LEITZ LTM LENSES: A 39mm DIVERSITY. (And, yes, folks, this IS a shameless commercial plug!) The Trinol is, of course, discussed there!
