Has anyone ever heard of a Optikotechna Prerov Benar 21cm F 4.5. Anyone ever used one?

Optikotechna Prerov Benar is a pretty good opera, but like most, you wait around through the dull bits until they get to the arias.

Don't know about the lens but here's a bit about the company, Optikotechna:
1933 - Dipl.Ing. Alois Benes established company Optikotechna in Prerov. Dr. Mazurek constructed the first Czechoslovak enlarging lens.
1934-1937 - Optikotechna focused on darkroom equipment (mainly enlargers and lenses).
1937 - Optikotechna built new facilities for production in suburb of Prerov.
1939-1945 - Optikotechna was forced to supply military optical equipment for German army (rangefinders, periscopes, binoculars, riflescopes). Optikotechna was renamed to "Herrmann Goering Optische Verzeuge".
1946 - Optikotechna renamed to Meopta national enterprise.
1947-1970 - Meopta became one of the biggest enlarger manufacturers worldwide and the only cinema projector manufacturer in Central/East Europe.
1953 - The Institute for Research and Development of Optics and Precision Mechanics was established in Prerov.
1971 - There was a rapid increase of military production for Warsaw Pact (up to 75% of total turnover).

From my post above it appears that the lens dates to pre 1946...

You're right, I don't have an answer to your question.
I occasionally post silly answers to questions because I enjoy excercising my sense of humor. It's fun. I notice that others do the same, so I'm not the only one that thinks so. It's just as much fun being on the recieving end of good-natured humor (good-natured being the key), as well, so I can take it as well as dish it out.
I always try to do it in a non-offensove way, but still, not everyone likes it. My apologies. I will not reply to your posts unless I have a serious answer.

I guess Kevin has a Borque sense of humor? Or would that be Baroque?

Perhaps Kevin has had surgery to prevent his ulnar nerve from coming into contact with his humerus? Certainly he didn't find Mr. Borque humerus.
I guess his sense of humor is Broke.
