Hello Everyone
I am new here and have just recently purchased a barrel lens, that I could use a little more information about.
I have been told, that when the aperture is missing, there is a good chance the cemented doublet is also missing. Can anyone verify this, from the images?
I will be receiving the lens in about 2 weeks and was also wondering, if there is an easy way to tell if it is a complete lens unit, without taking it all apart?
Any other information about this lens, would be greatly appreciated. I have been reading through this document http://www.arnecroell.com/czj.pdf (very interesting history of Carl Zeiss Jena) and I see this lens posted as having a barrel lens production run of 811. Looks like the serial numbers indicate a production date of between 1957 - 1960.
I have noticed that there is very little information online about this lens, so it must be a little uncommon?
Thanks for all the help and I look forward to all the interesting feedback!!
