The
grip is a Case Logic grip attached to a Manfrotto 200PL style quick
release plate, a special plate made by HorusBennu for their grips. It
allows you to use the camera, with the grip attached, on a Manfrotto
RC2 Rapid Connect Adapter.

This old
lens
was sold for Braun Paxette cameras. It surprised me a lot. Wide
open, at F 5.6,
it's a bit soft, but fully usable. At F 8 it's fine. At F 16 there is little or no
diffraction, which is much better
than other lenses, even at F22 it stays usable. Diffraction is a
problem of the APS-C sensor size,
not the
lens (see comparison page).
It's
astonishing, how short and light the lens is, even if you add the
adapters, just compare it to the 90mm Leitz. A nice tele lens for the
A6000. No use to test F 32 because of the diffraction problem
The M39 Paxette Mount is the same thread as ordinary M39 (Leica), but
a different flange focal distance. Please refer to the Paxette
lens page.
