AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The optical design is the classic 4-lens-in-3-groups, as dear to designer Max Berek as it is conceptually similar to the Elmar, but with the cemented doublet arranged in a central position.

Minimum focusing distance of 1.5 m, weight varies depending on the year of construction, a sign of changes in the barrel construction.

Filters with the classic A36 thread.

After serial number 590,551 the optic was equipped with an anti-reflective coating.

Almost 70,000 units produced up to 1960

shipped with insured courier.
