Hi Andrew and all,
From: Andrew Fildes <afildes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
>Not quite - the Summicron was single coated, the Rokkor multi-coated.
AFAIK, the older Rokkors (at CL time) were single-coated, but the latest
(for the CLE) were MC -- my 40/2 and 90/4 are CLE-type and definitely
multi-coated.

My M-mount bodies are the CLE, which does have the proper 40mm frame shown,
and the Bessas -- which have manual frame selection anyway.

It's an interesting system!
>The CL and CLE lenses are much underrated.
I have to make some enlargments yet (and/or project the slides properly) but
so far they seem excellent to me. The 40/2 adds great ergonomics, IMHO.
Cheers,
