 My observations see it carries a 15mm f5.6 lens, very close in spec. to the 
Cosina/Voigtlander optic.
 Now if the camera had an interchangeable lens mount one could dream of 
creating a shift lens for use on the Minox/Leica!
 And the 12mm would be an even wider shift lens...

Ah, yes!  I have seen many in my time.  Didn't these used to show up 
frequently as prizes at carnival booths?

The music's over.  Turn out the lights...
