Hello Lens Legends.
Picked up this little beauty at op shop and can't find much info on it.
has 3 elements and 10 blade iris made in Japan.
Hope someone out there in lens land can shed some light for me.
Thanks in advance
BAB.

You have got almost all the information already. It is a cheap generic Japanese triplet enlarger for 6×9 format with 39mm screw mount.

It will be interesting to see some results from this lens.
Triplets can give very unusual results.

Today I borrowed BAB's enlarger lens for a little play-time.
Here are some images.
Much better than I expected from a cheap triplet.
It would be interesting to know who made this lens.
Best results are closed down to around f8 or f11 - but image three is wide open.
Cheers
