[Leica] Focotar 40mm and Leitz Focomat V35

[jbcollier at shaw.ca (John Collier)]

The AF Leica enlargers have a calibration procedure you can run through 
if need be. The lenses are made to exact focal lengths as it has to 
match the enlarger's focusing cam. I think there were two cams 
available for the V35: one for the 40/2.8 focotar and one for the 50 
focotar. Possibly also one for another lens as well.
