the baby hypergonar should not be tampered with any attempt to tweak will possibly destroy the optics leave it alone is best.

the optics are sealed into the housing .

a few of these have been destroyed during attemps to take  apart.

the only way is to cut the body into 2 pieces you then run the risk of horrible vibration damage to the optics.

be thankful you have a rare lens or sell it on if you are a seeker of perfection.

I had a nice example but sold it as I prefer the small Moeller. Tony is - as usual - very good informed: The hypergonar was sometimes sold together with the Chinon Pocket-8 or Revue Pocket L super-8 cameras. These cameras had primes and with the 1.75 squeeze you could achive true 2.35. However the 1.5 squeeze (chosen by Moeller and Isco) is better for the tiny super-8. However maybe there have been sold some more Hypergonars cause especially the Revue cameras were for the mass market... ?! Just guessing.

Still a miracle what this tiny baby can produce  :o

Thanks for the information Tony. Let's see how it effects the image quality.
