Jem - -----Original Message----- From: lucien [SMTP:director@ubi.edu] Last week I found a 1957 Summicron 50mm lens head together with two mounts: a rigid (SOSIC) and a DR (SOMNI) with its removable spectacle. The 3 items (lens head and both mounts) are all (factory) engraved with the same serial number (14733XX). Both mounts have a 8 engraved on the back which match the 51,9 (true focal length) scratched on the rear mount of the lens head. A more expensive way to have near focusing than the SOMKY-UOORF combination (16507-16508) optical close-focusing device + adapter I believe. To bad there was no rigid screw mount (SOSTA) with them. ;-) Lucien
