I noticed Peter refer to this Tessar after the 35mm f3.5 triplet but did not pay close attention to its details until now.

Not! Frank, I was speaking of this lens: *Miyazaki-shiki Tessar T* 35mm/f3.5 *It says "When you purchase the lens (center), metal lens cap (screw-in, left front), metal lens hood (screw-in, front right photo) and three fixed-aperture ring (respectively, f3.5, f5.6, f11 support) that comes with that." and "The minimum focusing distance, 0.8m is. Of course, infinity is out." http://tinyurl.com/2v72nzb On Thu, Sep 23, 2010 at 7:37 AM, FRANK DERNIE <frank.dernie at btinternet.com>wrote: > I don't think so, no, the aperture is conventional, although, since the > whole > kaboodle rotates with focus like the old lenses, the aperture index will > not > necessarily be found where one may expect it. > I did not notice anything about not focussing to infinity though. > FD > > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: Sonny Carter <sonc.hegr at gmail.com> > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Sent: Thursday, 23 September, 2010 13:19:24 > Subject: Re: [Leica] The world's SMALLEST 35mm lens ever for M...
