Marc, my real interest was to find the Planar 3.5/75 lens diagram to see the differences with the Planar 2.8/80 five elements and the Planar 3.5/75 five elements diagrams,BTW very visibles. The 6 elements diagram is almot impossible to find on line and then the diagram in the patent is a true finding (I think). About the patents, I'm tending to think they say almost nothing, however they could be references to confront with other facts and sources sometimes.
