I purchased this on ebay, price looked ok, so I took a gamble. SCHNEIDER-KREUZNACH Edika-CURTAGON 4/28

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-M42-lens-SCHNEIDER-KREUZNACH-CURTAGON-4-28-wide-angle-28mm-1-4-/291444100980?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=c%252FJyAMmoylaguMITOYy42ESWipI%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

I am wondering what can be said about the lens. And if anyone has examples both of close and far subjects.

It is called Edixa-Curtagon. Pretty good lens of its time. The bokeh is pretty good at close distance(I have the Retina version).

Mine is a model with special coupling for a ligtmeter


Nice results, good color rendition:


But F 4.0 is not too much for a 28mm lens, that's why I don't use the lens often.
