Correction. With rear filter mounted, it DOES interfere with the mirror

Without the filter the situation is normal, and it seems that unlike
Zenitar, this lens does not NEED to have filter mounted to focus
properly. But, we'll see when I develop this roll ;)
If you examine the filters carefully, you can see that they're slightly
concave lenses rather than plain glass. (This is most obvious if you
look at the reflection of a light source in them - you can see two
images, one bigger than the other). I found the lens very soft (on
film, at least), and have been wondering whether the filters are in fact
an important part of the lens's optics.
