I will now have a go at it myself. The new Leica lenses have the lens name, serial number and a few other things written on on the front rim of the lens, on the surface parallell to the film plane. The letters seem to be much larger than on older lenses, and the paint much brighter, but this may be due to the paint having faded on my old lenses. I am sure that this lettering and numbering will cause a lot of internal reflections when I put on my "safety glasses" UV filter, so I have covered the letters and the numbers with black tape. What do you think of this idea? >Way cool. I must try it someday. > >Jim Brick >Silly Cone Valley, CA (Sorry Jim, I could not resist that one.) - -- Christer Almqvist D-20255 Hamburg, Germany and/or F-50590 Regnéville-sur-Mer, France
