Thanks for the info. It sounds like it is likely a low-end lens, like the Radionar.

The Bee Bee was said to be imported and sold by Burleigh Brooks, a large photographic supply firm of yesteryear. The story is that the name was a contraction to reflect that. It could have any one of a number of lenses on it. I don't think any of them would be that bad. They're kind of a cool little camera.

Edit: Later, he said: Oh sure, NOW I read the linky. I were right, tho. :D
