Hi Marc -
Catch my earlier clarification/mea culpa relative to the term
retrofocus. I also promise I will not argue that a Kleenex is a
tissue, an Aspirin is acetylsalacylic acid, or that a Xerox is an
electrostatically produced toner copy ;-)
Like you, I also wondered/conjectured in earlier posts if the mirror
construction/design in the Pentacon 6 could be the factor responsible
for permitting the Biometar to be used in their cameras when Rollei
and Hasselblad had to go to a more complex lens design for their SLRs.
Carlos has offered that it might be the shutter difference that lead
to this... any thoughts?

YOU are the one who has consistently raised retrofocus lenses as being
necessary for normal lenses. You and Carlos have been off on a fast run
through broken country. Perhaps the two of you mis-spoke but it seemed to
this innocent soul that the both of you were stating that normal (80mm)
lenses for medium-format cameras had to be of a retrofocus design. Yes, you
said this. Yes, Carlos let this slide. Such is just not the case. Might I
suggest that you review the bidding?
