"VOORT". I love the names they called that stuff. Much classier than a number.

Thanks for the comments. I really did not expect such colours and relative lack of flare - although there is definitely some there. When I paid $12 for it I did not expect much, but, it is better than I imagined.

@Attila - thanks for the link

@Himself - Attila's link has a picture, although mine is not as pristine as the one shown

The colors are very nice in #2 and especially #3!
A lens from 1937 with these great results is really stunning!
