The grip is a Case Logic
grip attached to a Manfrotto 200PL style quick

allows you to use the camera, with the grip attached, on a Manfrotto
RC2 Rapid Connect Adapter.

This old
lens
was sold for Braun Paxette cameras. This a second set of photos with a
different adapter which is better. Wide open
it's a tad soft. Stopped down it's fine. At F8 you
can see what it is
capable of. At F 16 there is just a hint of
diffraction, which is much better
than other lenses. Diffraction is a problem of the APS-C sensor size,
not the
lens (see comparison page). It's
astonishing, how short and light the lens is, even if you add the
adapters. A
nice very small lens.
The M39 Paxette Mount is the same thread as ordinary M39 (Leica), but
a different flange focal distance. Please refer to the Paxette
lens page.
