nice results!

This is probably the only 35mm film camera where the AF works by the film plane moving forth or backward Laughing

A side benefit of this arrangement is that it allowed the AX to feature a macro mode which worked much like a built-in 10 mm extension tube, allowing for a magnification ratio higher than 1:1 without the use of bellows or extension tubes
