I found a few references to Kadlubek's Lens Catalogue, but i couldn't find out if it's mostly about recent small/medium format objectives, making it a worthless purchase for large format vintage lenses enthusiasts.
The book is in german, not a big problem if i could find in it a reliable list of early european lenses. I'd be more than satisfied with a nearly complete list of the more important german lens makers :D
I found no mention of Kadlubek's book on this forum, and the only example pages i could find online were about 35mm lenses.
The photo on the book sleeve represents a wide selection of lenses, at least one is very old. Though i still don't know anything about the book's content.
Is there anybody out there who actually purchased the book?
The tome is widely available (Ebay, Amazon Germany, etc) and not so expensive.
Not so cheap to risk a blind purchase either, so i am looking forward for your input.
have fun
