I am sure someone will be able to come up with the names-I would have never been able to.
First- a lens that is identical to another lens I have which produces sharp lovely images-I am hoping this will do the same . I will need to tinker with this as the lens is loose inside although the helicoid is intact and the focus ring and aperture work.
The next one I would have never been able to guess-maybe someone here has experience with this.
Thanks . _________________ kathmandu

Are these M42 lenses? The top one reminds me of the semi auto Mamiya and Yashica lenses. I would say Mamiya, but I don't remember them having a silver focusing ring. |

For #1 -
Isco ? Yashica ? A semi-automatic M42 lens of the sort introduced in @1955-56 by Zeiss and Schneider for the Contax/Praktica. I have a Biotar and a Takumar and an Isco like this. I would like to say its Japanese from one of the makers of M42 cameras other than Asahi/Pentax, no later than 1963 or so, but I have to rule out Petri which yields Yashica.
#2
? Weird. Never seen it before. _________________ I like Pentax DSLR's, Exaktas, M42 bodies of all kinds, strange and cheap Japanese lenses, and am dabbling in medium format/Speed Graphic work. |

I also think the first lens is a Yashinon 5cm f/2. Although I have never seen this particular version; I think it's a transition model.
The large lens: I also thought Tamron, but I have the feeling that it's a Yashica too. _________________ Peter - Moderator

The long one certainly looks like Isco, but the f4/100 was front cell focussing. Also I've never seen that lens with silver aperture rings. |

Thank you all for playing along , I must say some of you came very close on the smaller lens.
Here are the beautiful front faces of the lenses.
The smaller one says Tominon C.(red) 1:2 f=5cm Tomioka Opt. Co.
& the larger one says Nicca Lens 1:2.8 f=13.5cm Taiho Optical. Co.
I did get a chance to get some shots from the Nicca today-and I like its sharpness and color. The Nicca carries an 8 bladed iris,and the aperture ring is preset .It focuses from almost 5ft to infinity. The lens tapers a little towards the lens mount.

Nicca was bought out by Yashica in the late 50s apparently.

The Nicca Camera Co. Ltd. started as the optical workshop Kōgaku Seiki-sha (光学精機社, meaning Optics and Precision Co.) in 1940, founded by former employees of Seiki Kōgaku (the predecessor of Canon). It was based in Tokyo, Honjo.[1] Its first camera, the Nippon, a close copy of the Leica rangefinder camera, was produced in 1942.
In 1948, the company changed its name to the Nippon Camera Works, and a year later, to the Nicca Camera Works. It continued to build Leica-type rangefinder cameras, adding such features as flash synchronization, lever wind, a hinged film back, and projected viewfinder framing. Nicca also made cameras for Sears under the Tower name.
In 1958, the company was acquired by Yashica, which manufactured and re-labeled the Nicca-33 and III-L as the Yashica YE and YF respectively. |
Komura made lenses for the Nicca cameras apparently so maybe the Nicca lens is a Komura? _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it!

It's reliable, better than Canadian. I & robertro traded lenses. We sent about same time, my lens arrived sooner than his lens.
Like other country, more expensive, is faster. But even the cheapest one has track number
While items in US, shipment to Indonesia at least $40m this said to be safer, but this 40 is adding to tax cost. So we usually avoid buy from US _________________ nex5, Olympus EPM1, yashica half 14, Canon eos 650 want to see samples of mine? please click My lenses

As you might know, shipment depends on weight & value, when I sent Leica Summarit 50/1,5 to Canada cost around $30. I said it's value around $120. then I realized that mentioned high value mean hight cost. so for now I mention value not more than $60.

Hi,
You might maybe have seen this before, but here is a list of Nicca lenses. The Taiho is in rather good company with all the Nikkors...
http://corsopolaris.net/supercameras/nicca/niccalenses.html
On this site there seems to be also other Nicca info, including the camera bodies and accessories.
