SOM Berthiot Paris Angular f\/3.3 28mm lens c1950<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong> … as he showed me the Angular f\/3.3 28mm screw mount Leica lens by Berthiot of Paris. We were at the March 19th, 1986 PHSC meeting.<\/p>\n

The little lens in a brass, aluminum coated mount, went on trips to Europe and Japan with Bill. It is the fastest screw mount 28mm lens in my collection.<\/p>\n

Like the 5cm Elmar, the aperture setting is around the front element, but in this case with suitable sized knobs on the rim of the focussing mount.<\/p>\n

With a screw mount to bayonet ring, the little lens was equally at home on my M4, but never replaced my oversized f\/2.8 28mm Elmarit designed by Dr Mandler in Midland, Ontario.<\/p>\n

Our 2026 events are beginning to fill in. Next up are two events next month: an auction on May 3rd and a fair on May 24th. These and the coming PHSC events will give you ample opportunity to add to your collection – not necessarily a Berthiot lens, but many interesting items nevertheless.<\/p>\n

As the date draws closer, details and a poster will be pinned to the top of this site. In the case of the auction, we hope to add a slide show of lot photos as we have for past auctions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
