luigi bertolotti Posted June 16, 2015 Share #22 Posted June 16, 2015 Well... I speculated a German origin... but Zeiss Jena wasn't a small one... ; have you seen which focal is it ? Zeiss Jena made a 90mm 4,5... not a 135 if i remember well... Thanks a lot !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luigi bertolotti Posted June 16, 2015 Share #24 Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) hug... can't open the link (my antivirus doesn't agree... ; anyway... 10,5 cm and f4,5 !!! So... a Tessar by sure... probably the same lens mounted on bellows and leaf shutter on Zeiss Ikonta C 6x9.... the mount and the f/stop ring are so strange that it even seems a sort of lab work (well made, indeed) ... the f stop values look engraved in a someway artisan way... and the "30" value is an oddity (the "natural" ought to be 25) ; is a very interesting item and I would be curios a lot to know its origin/history.... I'd bet it hasn't been a standard listed lens from some vendor... but if some expert on the complex story of Zeiss lenses (*) comes in, he's welcome (*) VERY complex: here's an essay by an excellent Italian publisher http://www.marcocavina.com/articoli_fotografici/Zeiss_cute_DFR_DDR_lenses/00_pag.htm Edited June 16, 2015 by luigi bertolotti Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lleo Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share #25 Posted June 16, 2015 Hey Luigi, set an exeption on your antivirus. You can state an exception and let your browser accept the page. Yes, I know Marco Cavina, not personally but his site. And yes, it's a Tessar. If you go in the Flickr page you'll have the full size pics.

Pecole Posted June 18, 2015 Share #26 Posted June 18, 2015 As I see that "a little collection" includes sometimes other brands than the "revered one", let me confess that when I walked through "fairs" looking for pieces to add to my Leica Fontenelle Collection, I very often - when prices were attractive - buy pieces that had only to do with "photography". And I often tried, and even "used" some of them. I found back the "Various photographic machines" file in my archives, and extracted the following : - an Agfa Standard dating around 1930 (in fact, it belong to my father, who was killed at war in 1940); - a Chinon; - a Compass, little Swiss marvel of miniaturization; - a Contax I, the Zeiss' competitor to the Leica, this one making more sense in my collection; - a Franke & Heidecke Heidoscop, the forerunner of the famous Rollei; - a Golden Steky "miniature"; - a very classical Hasselblad 500 C/M that I used quite a lot; - and a 1946 Kodak Brownie C that has been my first camera, received on the occasion of my "communion" at the age of 12. There are a dozen or so more... Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

lleo Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share #27 Posted June 18, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Nice stuff, the Hassi is awesome. But I only took pictures of one section of the shop. They also have severals two-optics cameras, medium formats, and so on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You liked it? why not to go on, then (yesterday, I was limited by the number of attachments allowed). - Mentor, the first illustrated, came complete...without lens; - Metropolitan "Clix de Luxe"; - as can be judged by the state of the red leather case, I used quite a lot the excellent Minox 35ML, whose size fitted my frequent business travels before the advent of the mini digital cameras; - Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS2 has been my first digital "mini" before Leica decided to offer something smaller that the Digilux 2...; - Plaubel mAKINA; - I also used quite a lot both Polaroid 660 and SLR680, not so much by conviction but because Polaroid has been a communication client...; - and finally, another Swiss miniaturization marvel I very much liked : the Tessina Automatic 35mm. OK, promised, I will limit myself to Leica in future threads ! Welcome, dear visitor!

lleo Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share #29 Posted June 19, 2015 Well, I have something similar (actually is my father's): Years ago I had a Revere Stereo from the '50s, really nice camera. I'm quite into stereo fotos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
