In this article, I will write about my thoughts on the design
of the focus ring of vintage lenses.
The focusing ring of a camera lens is a part that is always
used, but its design differs among manufacturers.
I will comparison using two lenses sell by our company Vintage Shop Japan Inc.

Thus, each manufacturer has a different design.
The grip design is unique to the manufacturer, making it
easy to turn since it is a hand-operated part.
In addition to the lenses from the manufacturers introduced
here, there are a variety of other lens designs, which I will
write about in the next issue.
