MarcI've heard of this lens, perhaps you mentioned it before, but don't know anything specific about it. Was this a lens for the US clone of the Leica made during WW-2? Kardan or some such name, I'm drawing a blank on it at the moment. TT&H seems to have made the lenses for the British copy.
Was Dechert expecting something like an Aero-Ektar? -- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles, CA, USA dickburk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx --- Rollei List - Post to rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx- Subscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org
