Elmar Red Scale Warning:

[Solinar]

In case someone here is looking for an Red Scale Elmar, beware of this one.

It is ePay item # 7522106853 Take a close look at the front aperture ring and compare it to the rear hyperfocal scale on the base. Notice anything peculiar?

Yes indeed. Maybe the lens was fitted with a new front plate that only went to f16? Good catch though! 😉 IMHO these red scale jobbies are a bit overpriced. I think collectors like them.
