Whooo... I can't answer your question.

I have a focomat 1...the lens is a real hoot...It is branded
ELeitz, Inc; New York.  It is a 50mm/4.5.   I can take the
most modern of  negatives and turn it into a 1940 look.

The carrier is missing the red mask...So in my prints, the
frame number shows.  The carrier is pristine.  I am thinking
of sandblasting it so that I get fuzzy edges...

I am having way too much fun.
