The grip is a HorusBennu
grip attached to a Manfrotto 200PL style quick
release plate, a special plate made by HorusBennu for their grips. It
allows you to use the camera, with the grip attached, on a Manfrotto
RC2 Rapid Connect Adapter.

the program wheel of the camera.
This is a very sought after and often quite expensive lens for Paxette
cameras, it has a 15 blades iris and it's
luminous. Wide open it's (too)
soft to blurred, at F 4 it's o.k. in the center, but it stays somewhat
blurred towards the
edges. At F 16 there's a hint of
vignetting. The
lens has
no
close focussing capablities. It is very small and extremely
lightweight, particularly for a F 2 lens. A lens which offers 1 stop
more than standard. As I got mine for cheap, attached to a Paxette
camera, I'm fine with it. But I would definitely be deceived, if I had
payed a lot of money for it.
The M39 Paxette Mount is
the same thread as ordinary M39 (Leica), but
a different flange focal distance. Please refer to the Paxette
lens page.
