Minox Leica M3 lens: AZONON f=15MM 1:5.6

Same lens as Minox Rolleiflex

Since Sharan Minox M3 and Sharan Minox Rolleiflex are made by Sharan Megahouse Japan, they cannot use German lens.

All Minox 8x11 film cameras lenses have the same focal

length F=15mm. But different F number

Minox A,B,BL, C ,EC,, LX, TLX, CLX all with FOCUSING lens

F=15mm , F1:3.5

Minox EC, ECX, M3, Minox Rolleiflex, all with F:5.6

This is understandable, because these camera are

all fixed focus, a 1:3.5 lens cannot achieve from

1mm to infinity sharp.
