andym911 Posted February 27, 2010 Share #1 Posted February 27, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) On a recent foto thread I metioned that the image was taken with my old Lux from 1957 (or so I believed) Unknowingly it appears that not only do I have the year wrong (intro for the Lux was 1959)but also that I seem to have quite an early example of the lens. here it is, the little beauty, anyone who can comment or help in determining its real age would be welcome. the serial number is 1640916 regards andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
