Seems that you have both a collector's item and an excellent performer!

FrankS, I am not in the collector side although I still have a bunch of rangefinder cameras (Nikon, Canon and Contax plus lenses) and I really like to use then very often (one of each time). I´m really glad to have a lens quoted as an excellent performer.FrankS said:Seems that you have both a collector's item and an excellent performer!

Ok there are no baffles it is like my pre WWII f2.8.
Baffles would be one or more light shields to reduce scatter from the rear of the barrallel.
Thanks for the additional photo.
Still envious

Xmas, now I know what buffle is, thanks. I have some interesting Canon rangefinder lens (wideangle) with buffles inside.

The similar F3.5 Leitz Elmar I have is baffled, this seems cautious, but may be because it was uncoated. Folding cameras are nicely baffled by the (folds of the) bellows. As I said above my 2.8 Contax fit Tessar pre WWII ('37) is also not baffled.
Enjoy your new toy.
