Yep. With a single panel it's 25mm, two panels 50mm, 3 panels is 75mm. The 25mm single panel vignettes heavily. About a 134mm angle of...

My Houghton Butcher Ensign Cameo. The shutter must have been relatively recently serviced (it works perfectly at all speeds). I've made...

Some of the Zuiko Pen F lenses are thoriated (the 100 I think?). I've certainly not found and problems with it.

It's the one deficiency of the Zero camera 8 have. They do give you a plastic viewfinder sheet, though I lost the 4x5 one. You're ok if...
