The Leica Thread-Mount Ektar was a 2/47mm
lens.  Sorry for not getting this right.  And
Dechert called it a "dinkly little bottle of a lens", as it is.

I'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?
