I just received my Germinar-W 150mm. Thanks Kerry!
I found a thick shim/spacer when I unscrew the rear cell. Should I use the shim when I put the rear cell in copal #0? My copal #0 comes from tominon 105mm, and, yes, it does have the aperture in the shutter. I know that I could try it and see what happens, but I don't want to do something stupid to this rare gem and the shutter.
I checked the reflections of this lens, I noticed that the reflections look more like my graphic kowa 150mm than my g-claron 150mm. The difference is that the fifth dim reflection was much larger on the germinar and kowa than the g-claron. I suspect the design of germinar-w 150mm is closer to the kowa than the g-claron.
The germinar which is mc gives colorful reflections, and my kowa 150mm (sn: 15xxxx) has at least 2-color reflections (this could be mc?), and the g-claron has single color reflections.
