Jerry:
          I have no doubt the Planar design is one of the best
photographic lens designs.
Yes, Distagon lenses are retrofocus WA designs, the Distagon 4/80
standard lens for the SL66 is a rarity, the retrofocus design was
necessary for this case due to the camera construction features and
the way the additional Compur leaf shutter for this 80mm lens
increases the real distance regarding the focal plane.
