The Gizmo on the lens is hard to identify, the lens is Not a zoon and the
attachment of the device at the front of the lens is wrong for any kind of
iris or focus drive.
Looking carefully at the best resolution pics from Bob the cable does not
enter the camera? It seems to loop through one of the rear feet on the
camera base and head off down and else ware.
It's a bit of a mystery, it could be a microphone or maybe a sensor for a
remote lightmeter, don't forget this is an experimental prototype camera and
the picture is a posed one rather than a real production use.
