Very nice, Lluis.  I do have one puzzling question.  I bought the lens in 
1952, on my Leica IIIa.  I recall the color of the front surface as showing 
blue.  Looking at it now, I can see no color at all.  My son had it for a 
number of years, but I don't recall any mention of the lens having any 
maintence.  I wonder where the color went?
