Thread: Two different 135mm Optars

    Two different 135mm Optars

    I've two Optars; One gives warm yellow-ish reflections and the other colder blue reflections. I'm wondering if one is a Rodenstock lens, but both lenses are labeled Graflex Optar on the rim. Any ideas.

    Is one coated and the other not? Are they different ages?

    Both are coated. The blue coated one's serial number is 915158, The yellow one's is G39441. Thanks

    915158 is too low to fit in the Rodenstock scheme of things. The G prefix is Wollensak.

    Both Wollys, I think.
