One of my favorite lenses...I now have a sample that is different. At the rear of the lens is an obviously factory ring, which contains what appears to be perfectly flat glass. At first I thought it was untinted, but it does have a very slight tint such as a UV filter from my 35mm days. If you unscrew it, the rear lens of the rear element will fall out, since this rear-most ring both holds this flat filter and keeps the rear group together. I've never seen this in any repro claron. Anybody know why some were made this way?
