I've been playing with an old Steinheil Munchen (Steinheil of Munchen?) 15cm "UN OFOCAL" lens over the weekend. It's in a Compur that would make me guess the le ns is immediate postwar. 1949ish. It was full of goo so I took the individual elements apart to carefully clean all of the surfaces. I was expecting a Zeissi sh tessar, but there are 4 seperated elements. 2 in front with air space, and 2 in back. Is this formula the same as the Voightlander heliar?
I don't know how to make a link, but there is a picture of the lens here; http://imagehost.auctionwatch.com/preview/tp/tpahjim/Munchen_2.jpg
Thanks for any help. I really do enjoy this group. Jim
