Hi, I'm a professional photographer with a penchant for vintage rangefinders. A few years ago, I bought a lot of photo equipment at an electronics recycler. In it were several pieces of ultra high-end equipment, including some Nikon RF tele lenses, making it an absolute score. However, there is one piece that still to this day baffles me. At first, it appeared to be the rear group of elements for a large format lens. However, I have never been able to find a single piece of information regarding this piece of equipment. It is labeled as "ELCAN f/9.5 170mm Leitz Canada 090-0104" with "Lens Made In Canada" in smaller print. I don't know whether this is a scientific lens, part of a large format lens, or some other special-application piece, so ANY information would be VERY greatly appreciated. Since I don't have any idea what the lens is for, I obviously do not have a use for it, so I would like to sell it, and would like to have as much information as possible. Thanks in advance!

Hey all, I came across these two items recently and haven't had much luck figuring out exactly what they are. They appear to be either cameras or possibly film magazines and probably for scientific or some other specialized use. Both have enamel finishes. The gray one is stamped "Leitz Wetzlar Germany D.B.P. 1044601," and the black one is stamped "Ernst Leiz Wetzlar Germany D.B.P. 1074601." I'm curious as to what they are, when they were made, and possibly what their value is. Thank you to everyone for helping me identify these!
