I just bought couple of weeks ago a Coligar 75mm, f3.5 enlarger lens. I found almost nothing about it on net but when i „CLAed“ it i saw 3 glasses in 2 groups. I've „mounted“ the lens inside a plastic tube in order to be able to modify the viewing angle. Some samples:



I've posted more on my website. I think it's not bad at all for a 5$ lens.

It can „manage“ the focus until around 6-7m.
