Hi All

I acquired this lens some time ago and have been using it off-and-on on my Samsung NX cameras. I particularly enjoy using it on the NX500. It performs remarkably well for such a small, old lens.

Recently I decided to find more about it. I came across this excellent site;


My lens is an early post WWII version (weighs 114 grams and and has bulbous rear side).

What intrigued me was that the distance scale only shows 'feet' and not the more common 'feet' and 'metres'. I've searched the net and not come across another photo/example of such.

My question is; has anybody else got such an example and are they any other differences from the latter type with both units on the distance scale?

Thanking you all in advance for any light you may shed on this.

Stay safe and enjoy your photography, Wahid.
