My work area for photo stuff is currently inaccessible because of some remodeling, but when I get back to it, I will calibrate that rangefinder for an 8-1/2" Ilex Paragon, for which there was no cam for the top rangefinder in any case. That will allow me to use those two lenses with rangefinders, and scale focus the 90 with tiny apertures. That 90mm Optar WA needs a tiny aperture in any case. I think those three lenses will capture all I might ever want from that camera.
