This old
lens
was sold for Braun Paxette cameras. Wide open
it's soft towards the edges. Stopped down it's fine. At F16 you
can see what it is
capable of. It's
astonishing, how short and light it is, even if you add the adapters. A
nice very small lens. It's only half the weight of the 35mm Lineogon.
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.
