Message: <blockquote data-quote="Binastro" data-source="post: 3317390" data-attributes="member: 111403">I spoke to a camera and lens expert about the Flektogon binocular.He says that legally the factory could put the name Flektogon and all the other markings on a kilo of cheese for sale within Comecon (1949 to 1991).My comment is, but not on a pound of cheese for sale outside Comecon.Why the markings are there we know not.When introduced the 20mm f/4 Flektogon was a unique wide angle retrofocus lens. You find it in Nikon also where users valued it highly.Incidentally, why do I have a lock and key in a a Zeiss Ikon box?</blockquote>
