Well...actually...I was joking with Richard about the Biometar. I know that the Opton is not a Biometar. s. On Jul 7, 2008, at 11:57 AM, Eric Goldstein wrote:
Not joking at all... That's what I was looking for, Carlos. Appreciate the reference. So now we know either that the lens design has a long back-focus (unlikely, as the design has not appeared in other similar applications), or that the mirror on the camera allows for unusual clearance. Wondering if it may be somewhat shortened and offer a limited view with some lenses?

Biometar 2.8/80 five elements at the middle of the page:http://www.praktica-users.com/cams/six/pentaconsixmanual.html CarlosHi Peter - From what I understand, Carlos is saying the Biometar on the Praktica and the 2.8 B is the same formula/type, similar to the Xenotar. I am questioning how that is possible, given that the Praktica is an SLR and would need a design with enough back focus to clear the mirror, which to my knowledge the Xenotar (and 5 element Planar) do not have. If they did, you'd see them elsewhere on other SLRs, like the Hasselblad... So we have an open question without a definitive answer.../rollei_list_____________________________________________________________________ _______________¡Buscá desde tu celular!
