...you?
Thats the one! Nice glass, small size. Meniscus lenses are great for their softness or sharpness. Also, you only need one lens cap

Garret, what's the focal length of this lens? I love the soft/sharp filament and how the texture of the metal is rendered. ... like it a LOT

I think I'd like to buy a lens like that... what are its marking?
