The Super Angulon is a non retrofocus wide angle in the spirit of the Zeiss Biogons. The rear element extends far enough back from the lens flange that it interferes with the meter cell in an M6. Therefore the cap is recessed quite a bit. Here is an image of the repro caps http://www.cameraquest.com/inventor.htm The image is about half way down the page. Reasons why I keep this old lens is that it has almost zero distortion, it focuses down to 16", and it is extremely sharp in the fashion of the DR Summicron.
