who made the Commercial-Astragon

[david clark]

I recently came by a Commercial-Astragon, 1:6.3, f=250mm (10"), No 97540. Does a nyone know anything about this? It looks to be a coated tessar type mounted in a Copal No 3. This wouldn't be the famous Congo product would it? Thanks, David

David,

I don't have my lens resource in front of me but I think it was Ilex.

Yamasaki.

Well, guess I'm getting too old to trust my memory. Sorry for the misleading information.

Thanks all, I contacted Congo, and they confirmed it was their's.
