I think it could make a grown man cry and I think it might be a basket case, but ...
I happened to bid (oh well) on what supposedly should have been a nice little wide angle Aplanat.
Once the package arrived, the troubles began. From the photos on the auction site I had figured there was some sort of hood sitting on the brass lens. Never thought to ask the pertinent questions.
Some time in the past, someone (dim-witted) has put a piece of iron on to the front of the brass lens. And it does not budge. I just sit here and wonder if it would be possible to get rid of the junk?
Have a look at the photos and see what you think.
My hunch is that it is a Rodenstock, by the way.
