I'm working on a theory about these old lenses: 3 often beats 4, and who makes the lens is more important than how many elements. The general population has yet to see the light in this Wink

Excellent result, even the edges hold detail, though my personal taste in 'printing' these would be a bit darker, or toning the highs down a smidge (maybe in the scan)...

pre-war is always fascinating. And more fascinating to see such results.


Cheers

Quiet common camera and usually very affordable, take a research on Ebay if you like it.

I held one in my hands two days ago, but was unfamiliar with lens, and wanted to research it before I bought it. Very Happy Serendipitous timing. Thanks, again, Attila

The close up pics look really sharp and contrasty. I think the more distant shots show a little less contrast so perhaps a hood would be a good investment if you are keeping the camera.
