Ah, it is the very pancake-like Nikon lens?

No I've never heard of that I just had to look it up.
I have an old, my very first lens for my first SLR, 45 GN Nikkor. Which this
Cosina Voigtl?nder built for Nikon with the Nikon label on it is a modern
version of. It focuses closer. Has the f stops going in the right direction.
But not down to f 32. My favorite f stop. I shot loads of evens with a flash
at that f stop which is what you get when you'd be focused at 3 feet. As
you'd focus further the f stops would open up with a mechanical linkage.
Hence going in the wrong direction. A "Blitz" lens the Germans would call
it. A Cheese or Blueberry Blitz lens.
