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.

Olympus lenses are
It is a cross square.


The design emphasizes a sense of sharpness.

Minolta is square squares.


The tip of the mountain is slightly flattened.


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.

In addition to the above items, we also sell vintage cameras and

lenses, please see the URL below.
