Goggles for what?


Recommended Posts

I bought a junk box of Leica stuff at an estate sale and most of it I've identified but these goggles stump me.

 

They have an M-mount on the base the front is threaded. I can not find any catalog number or name on them. There was an early 135/2.8 Elmarit for sale (scolloped focusing ring) which did not have goggles on it. Could these be the goggles for it?

That's a good question. There was a 135/2.8 for sale but with out goggles and with an M-mount base.

 

Aha.

 

There was never a 135 2.8 without goggles... It sounds like someone has been playing swapsies :rolleyes:

 

Regards,

Do just the lens cell (11828) ever show for sale?

I have never seen the optical cell on sale 'naked'. It could removed (like several other lenses) so that you could use it on a Visoflex, with a suitable focusing helical adapter.

This was numbered 16462, and it did also fit the lens head of the old-style, long-focus 90mm Summicron.
