I won my first auction style e-bay listing. I did everything by the book: stressed for 5 days, set an alarm, and bid at the last seconds. I ended up being the only bidder on this beautiful set LOL.

Just picked it up already as it was only 5km's from where I live. 
After a quick read this lens seems to be available in Exakta and DKL mount as well.
Not yet sure if they are the same optically...
I already have a Rollei SL Xenon 50mm F1.8 as well.
This Edixa version is very beautiful. It has a transparent looking part between the aparture and the focus ring (see image 4 for a close up) and a hole to screw in the double edixa cable release to control the aperture (see image 5). It has an A/M switch as well and the aparture pin at the back is a little wheel thingie. 
These pictures are taken with a Helios 44M, the close ups with tubes added.

optically, this lens should be the same as the DKL version produced in the same period. It will be nice to compare this lens to the SL Xenon 1.8. From what I heard, the SL Xenon is better but I never have chance to compare them side by side.

Congratulations on your purchase!
I bought the same lens and camera (although mine is a different model, D-L) a short time ago and I like the lens very much. The camera is very impressive too, but I haven't used it yet. |

Got a small oportunity to take the lens outside in between 2 rain clouds
I discovered something really cool while shooting, the red parts in the transparent area open and close like curtains when you change the aperture. That is so neat!!!

Karen,
Very nice colors, as a middle to low contrast lens, it would be great to use it for portraits and still, due to its nice color rendering,
Send us more when you can,

Nice samples, I'm really curious to see some more.
The lens itself is incredibly beautiful, i really love that series of schneiders: I have the 4/28 edixa curtagon, and it's by far my best looking lens.

Excellent lens, one of Schneiders finest and in the same style as their cine lens series.
You got it at a good price, in this condition perhaps €120-150

Of course the movement of the red parts indicate the depth of field, I agree, it's cute indeed!
BUT: The seller describes the Xenon lens as a Tessar Type, IMO it's a Gauss type lens.
So description of the item is not correct in his ebay offer. I suggest You to give it back and tell me contact adress of the seller, so can tell him some serious advice how to offer items in ebay
