Early examples lack click stops (a chrome or nickle sping bar on the side). There was also a 436/7 which came with either a 28 or 35 wide lens, and 50, 85, 135 and 180mm coverage. Finally there was the 436/70 which covered 28, 35, 50, 85 and 135mm. After the war, Jena produced a finder 427 which covered 25, 35, 50, 85 nd 135 lenses.
