Great work! But I disagree - the Solinar deserves to be flipped. One of the best Tessar-type lenses around.

Mike, I really hesitated getting this camera because of it's reputation among repairers.  But I had to try out that lens since I've heard so much good of it.

Julio, the only thing I don't like about doing the flipped lens thing is when I don't know it has happened.  I lost some really wonderful shots because of that.  The only time I've purposely flipped an element was for one of rentavet's Argus's.  Luckily, there were some images that came out decent enough for viewing, but the one of the tree stump with a cover of moss, and the light shining on it just right, is one I will miss forever.
