Well, thats a 35mm and a 135mm Kyoei Acall in M42

Worth getting, these aren't common at all.

Plus an interesting other lens with a weird hood. ?

Correction - thats a 105mm Acall, not a 135. A really odd duck indeed !

I used to own a Kyoei Super Acall 135/3.5 for Leica screw. Bought it with a Canon IVsb attached for $75 about 25 years ago. Apparently nowadays they are desirable. Back then they were yawners. Nobody was interested in them. Optically my 135 was just okay.

Well, they aren't actually "desirable" really.

They are desirable to me, as I collect these along with any other old and strange Japanese lenses regardless of quality.
