    Triplet-69-3 40mm f/4 is a manual focus prime lens for 35mm rangefinder cameras.

    Optical design

    Has 4 aperture blades, this number of blades are commonly used. Having rounded blades provides out of focus circle shape closer to a circle. Average brightness in this league

    Physical characteristics

    Weights 105 grams so convinient to carry. 31 mm long, this small lens should be always in the camera bag. With a lens filter diameter of 46 mm you are one step from the next standard filter size, buy step-up ring and bigger filter but you can chose from plenty options.
