This lens was long time ago on my wish list , now I could won on an auction. Is anybody have it ?

I don't know it, but judging from the age, focal lenght, and look I'd bet, it's a triplet lens, like Trioplan (Triotar, Culminar etc).

Your exemplar looks very nice! 15 Euros is nothing for such a beautiful old lens, but are you aware it has fungus inside?

On a rare lens I not care much about fungus, I will clean it.

If it's a triplet like I think, cleaning it will be easy.

Yes, if little screws will get out,it will be easy.

It's not a common lens Attila, that much I know, and AFAIK although I could be wrong, was only ever produced in Exakta mount.

Laughing I thought that I not expect quality lens, let we see...

I expect quality to be the same as the Trioplan or my Culminar. Dreamy wide open and very sharp stopped down.

I don't think so 105mm f4.5 doesn't tell me any quality , but let see. I bought only for rarity.

My Culminar 135 is f/4.5 but it's every inch as good in IQ as the Trioplan.

Yes, but Trioplan also not the best lens ,not bad but not a Sonnar 135mm
