interested:

Looks like a real beauty with chrome over brass barrel.

It has 25 bid, seems a collectible item I guess it will go $$$
I have from same maker an 50mm f1.9 for Exakta that lens value around 250 USD if we count M42 mount I guess it will to expensive for take it.

Looks in pristine shape, Attila, agree, probably go for a tidy sum.

Yes, you've been kissed by the gods! Is it a good lens? Can't imagine
it not beeing a good perfomer...this is also the M42 version.

It's, well, quite soft and dreamy wide open. Stopped down is good.
However, not an unforgettable lens. It was the standard lens for Edixa cameras.
It's a Tessar design.
The astounding thing about this lens is the number of blades. I tried to count them but had to give up, my eyes went together. It surely has more than 20 blades.

Thanks for the info about the lens, I think I'll cast my gaze elsewhere,
as I still want the Flek 4/20 and of course, the Volna 9.

Those are two better lenses for sure.
The Edixa Schneider is a good lens to have only from a collectioner's point of view, and to be able to say "I have a Schneider too!"
Of course, you will not mention that you have paid for it 8 Euros, as many people thinks that 800 Euros would be a terrific bargain for a Schneider lens Laughing
But as image quality and usefulness the Flek 4/20 and the Volna-9 are difficult to beat.
