So I bought a little Pentacon brochure primarily for the cool cover...



Turns out it's a promotional brochure marking the launch of Meyer Goerlitz lenses under the Pentacon brand. An A to Z of lens terms (and faults, which Pentacon lenses of course have none of) - which is not in order unless they just changed the headline words from their original German?

I'll scan this fully at some point as it is amazing.. However my cursory read of I on a train this now uncovered this



Previously I'd unscrewed this sub-assembly mount on an early Pentacon 135/2.8, figuring it to be poor construction.. Doh..

Transpires its the shortest focal length with that option.  See table below




So does anyone else have experience/knowledge of this?

As a pentacon six owner, this opens up some possibilities... 😆

Damn my over excitement!

Still might be worth having a look for a cheap one
