Advertisement Posted July 28 Posted July 28 Hi ApoVision, Take a look here Has anyone ever seen a Summicron f = 5cm 1:2 engraved with three crowns (Swedish army)?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

ApoVision Posted July 28 Author Share #3 Â Posted July 28 There is such a lens on offer and I suspect that it is a fake 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted July 28 Share #4  Posted July 28 There are a couple of Elmar's mentioned in Collectiblend, so I suppose it is not an impossibility.  Welcome, dear visitor!

ApoVision Posted July 28 Author Share #5 Â Posted July 28 Elmar was the lens mostly sold with the iiig 3cr, then a 3.5cm summaron and a 20cm lens. Concur, cron not impossible. Question is whether there has been any sighting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted July 29 Share #6 Â Posted July 29 (edited) Never seen one... and all the authors do report that the "swedish 3 crowns" lens set was made by Summaron 35 2,8 Elmar 50 2,8 Elmar 90 4 (all in screw mount - the Swedish set was based on 125 Leica IIIG - black body) and also a Telyt 200 for Visoflex (don't know if Visoflex boxes with 3 crowns do exist) Summicron 50 in SM is indeed contemporary to the Swedish order ... but being generally unreported in a 3 crown variant, I tend to be suspicious... is not a complicated logo to reproduce and the mount of the collapsible Summicron has the right space... btw : the lens for sale is collapsible or rigid ? Is the s/n declared ? Edited July 29 by luigi bertolotti Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giuliobigazzi Posted July 30 Share #7  Posted July 30 Advertisement (gone after registration) If the lens was delivered to Brandt in Sweden it could be genuine, if not then it’s probably a forgery  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApoVision Posted July 30 Author Share #8 Â Posted July 30 Lens serial = 1092434 (apparently 1953), collapsible Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
