Many thanks for both of you! Is this from the 1992(60 Jahre from 1932)?

My work used to bring me to New York a few times per year during the 1990es and occasionally at the start of the 2000ds. If time allowed I would nip across to the offices of Mr. Heitz and have my Alpa stuff repaired or pick up some of his unwanted pieces (like the Mercure). My Kinoptic sheets stem from these visits.

Given that time span and that, usually time did not allow a visit, I do not have a specific date. My guess is that the price list is from this side of the turn of the century and that the lens list is from the early 1990es.

Thanks, Paul. Kinoptik is one of the last lens brand I never own. I wish I can find one of these in reasonable price. Smile

Judging from this list, it looks as if by 1980 only the Macro and Auto versions of the 100 mm was available. One of my 100mm/2 Kinoptics is in the standard Extensan mount. My 150 is in an non auto Alpa-mount just like my 300mm Special-Cine .
