Fortunately they don't design cameras...

[Mr.Prime]

perhaps it can be spray painted black with a textured paint

 

and judging from that link it has noticeable vignetting ?

a 21/5.6 pancake to shoot at f/8 all day, why not? This 35 is really ugly 🤦‍♂️ 

but I guess the CV 21/3.5 Asph is already closer to a pancake size

One aperture only, f/5.6, not that tempting... If i were after a golden lens i'd rather this Elmar 35/3.5... for a bit more money though i suspect

There is another thread - needs merging? 

As I posted there, it is also unclear whether it is rf coupled.

Hi has anyone tried this? Any thoughts so far. Just wondering how does hyperfocal distancing work on this lens since its not coupled.

Apparently new colour choices available.

 

I think it be nice for stealth if the colour and lettering be removed like in this process

So i just worked out the hyper focal distance from infinity would be 7.5m and  3.7m for the near limit. It would of been nice if 7 artisans could of put it at those set ranges to allow for accurate hyperfocal focusing instead of 0.5m. eg 7.5m, 3.7m, 2.4m etc The range on th lens is practically useless unless one is using live view.
