Hi Richard -
That same piece states that the lens is an 80/3.5... not fast by any
criteria bit still the best information we have is that it is a
double-gauss type...
I still think a 67/69 camera with an 80 similar to the Ektar available
for the small Graphic cameras would have been a winning combination,
and would not have competed with Fuji's "Texas Leica" GSW690
rangefinder...
