I have forgotten its name...

What is the code name for this? I've forgotten and don't seem to be able to find a reference.

For those who don't know what it is, let the guessing begin...

A Voola for the Elmars?

Yes, Erik got it right in this post 😀

Yes, VOOLA, diaphragm setting ring to adjust aperture of screw mount 50mm Elmar lenses when slip-on filter is in place.

Those small reference books come in handy.

Erik.

 

[Dralowid]

Yes, and curiously I think it was me asking the question last time...age, age...

 

[Dralowid]

I remember now that that conversation spawned a discussion about the C&P Elmar hood...

Curiously there is one for sale right now on Ebay UK. (No connection and I've got one anyway)

When you use it to open a beer bottle, you are meant to say "voola!", as you hand it to a friend.
