Richard und Marc,
Dechert was talking through his distal orifice. I had TWO
of those 47mm Ektar for Kardon
lenses. (civilian and military). They were both superb, I
made numerous 11x14 prints from B&W
negatives. I still have the Kodachrome slides.
That lens was superior to the f3.5 50mm Elmar.

Not surprizing. Kodak had considerable experience with
Biotar type lenses, including the lens for the Ektra (a
seven element lens) or the one for the Bantam Special (six
element lens) and the Aero-Ektar (again a seven element
lens). Since the Elmar was a modified Tessar (stop in the
front air space), its not surprizing the Biotar types would
have better performance.
I will add that whatever was lacking in the mechanical
design of Kodak cameras does not apply to their lens mounts,
which are excellent. Also, the Kodak Supermatic shutters
were well designed and well made.
