MTC Photography Posted October 28, 1999 Share Posted October 28, 1999 Riga Minostigmat lens was a 3 element 3 group Cooke Triplet type lens. <p> Five element lens with a strong negative element field flattener close to the film plane was used in Minox II. The five element COMPLAN with field flattener was a much sharper lens then Minostigmat, but easy to cause scratches by dust particles caught between the flattner lens and the film. Minox III used 4 element COMPLAN lens with slightly curved film plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
