Zeiss Tessar with 5 fl/aperture scalesÂ… Casket set lens?

[arri]

The shutter were made for a Hugo Meyer Plasmat Satz.

What kind of stupid idiot removed the bayonet mount thread of the Plasmat lenses and mount a Tessar into the shutter?

I can´t believe it.

One could hope for the best, that the responsible party had a bayonet adapter made for the Tesser rather than destroy the Meyer mount!

We shouldn't judge the previous owner. Maybe the Plasmat Satz lens was broken beyond repair or someone lost one of the cells.

If the Tessar aperture scale added to the Plasmat ones, wouldn't that mean that it was still possible to use the Plasmat groups?

The first ring says: 'Weitwinkel' (which means: wideangle), at least that is what I read on 2nd thought (first thougt there was written Welta...).

A comparable shutter is on one of my ICA Tropicas, and makes it possible to use different lenses with only one shutter. Mine can e.g. also be used for the Tele-Tessar.
