Q about the "thingie" in the mount of a P6 Sonnar 180mm
http://cgi.ebay.de/Sonnar-2-8-180-Ca...cm dZViewItem
It has got me puzzled. In the mount you can see the rod that gets pushed in so that the lens is wide open until you press the shutter. But there is another thing as well with a slot in the middle that changes position with the aperture. But it doesn't seem to link to anything inside the Pentacon 6TL. It is the only other thing poking out the back so should be easy enough to stop. What does it do? |

Pentacon made an adaptor to mount P6 lenses on the Praktica "electric" 35 mm cameras (VLC x, PLC x). The device you describe is used by this adaptor to signal the aperture set at the lens to the camera's meter circuit. Ralf -- Ralf R.
