Have a look on this:

http://www.ebay.de/itm/Carl-Zeiss-Jena-Sonderobjektiv-fur-GSK-der-Stasi-Sonnar-3-5-135-mit-Zubehor-B-/191000693386?pt=DE_Foto_Camcorder_Objektive&hash=item2c78874a8a

Looks to be a very interesting modular lens system, with focusing unit, aperture unit and lenses separated, why it was designed like this? Any special application? IR ? Anybody can give some explaination?

Had you followed the links in my thread about 35mm Sonderobjektiv, you would have seen that there are four lenses in this particular set, and that there were other lenses made for same purpose.

Also, same seller has 75mm lens for sale: Click here to see on Ebay.de

I only have 35mm Sonderobjektiv (I prefer this focal length for infrared photography), and I had not tried it for normal photography yet. These lenses do look interesting, but how useful they are for everyday photography I can not tell...

I regularly see that stuff popping up on German e-bay. Search for "Stasi objektiv" reveals some additional items...

Yes, but all of those BIN offers had been "sitting" on eBay for ages...

Sure. But there are also auctions with those lenses almost every week. If you search for completed listings, you'll find a couple ending last Sunday, for example Wink
