That's one of the wild and rare ones. I've never had it. The lever is to adjust the zoom.

And this said by David Kilpatrick:
| Quote: |
| "The Rokkor was one of the first two truly high quality midrange zooms ever designed. The other, launched in the year, was Canon's first 35-70mm f2.8. The 'throttle control' zoom (like a vintage car dashboard advance-retard lever... or your lawn mower...) was also unique because the internal zooming ran in flat tracks instead of a helicoid/tube. This allowed the groups to move independently of each other with corrections for every focal length, not just an optimised correction. As a result, this lens has perhaps the highest quality of any similar zoom made until very recently. It is a collector's item, originally cost far more than the SRT303b, and should be treated as such. Expect it to sell only to a serious collector, no-one else would appreciate it. It dates, I think, from 1974 as I was still working at a newspaper when I got that lens to use for a while on the new XE-1." |

Interesting! I'd love to see some samples, I wonder if the lever and internal construction paid off.

Doesn't look as easy to use. I don't remember me to have ever seen the lens before, however it is from a time that I was quite active as amateur photographer and I purchased my first XE-1. |
