During the last few months quite few RE Topcors happened to arrive here (at least more than i would have expected when i got my first Topcon RE):
* Tokyo Kogaku RE Auto-Topcor 20mm 1:4
* Tokyo Kogaku RE Auto-Topcor 28mm 1:2.8
* Tokyo Kogaku RE Auto-Topcor 5,8cm 1:1.4
* Tokyo Kogaku RE Auto-Topcor 58mm 1:1.8
* Tokyo Kogaku RE Macro Auto-Topcor 58mm 1:3.5
* Tokyo Kogaku RE Auto-Topcor 10cm 1:2.8
* Tokyo Kogaku RE Auto-Topcor 135mm 1:3.5
* Tokyo Kogaku RE Auto-Topcor 200mm 1:5.6
Does anyone have lens diagrams of these lenses? Of course also other lens diagrams, eg. of the following, would be nice:
* Tokyo Kogaku RE Auto-Topcor 25mm 1:3.5
* Tokyo Kogaku RE Auto-Topcor 85mm 1:1.8
* Tokyo Kogaku RE Auto-Topcor 300mm 1:5.6
... and maybe even of these beasts ...??
* Tokyo Kogaku RE Topcor 135mm 1:2
* Tokyo Kogaku RE Topcor 300mm 1:2.8
Any help is greatly appreciated - i plan to write about my experiences with the first mentioned RE Topcors, and some additional information about their construction would be nice.

Extremely useful information, especially since the focusing of my "new" RE Auto-Topcor 2.8/28mm is quite stiff (cometically it looks quite nice, though). I'll carefully try to dismantle the lens, clean the focusing, and re-build it.
Thank you very much!
Stephan

Yes, for sure - i'm quite busy right now taking images in London, Rome, near St Moritz and in the Vinschgau (German speaking part of Itlay near the Swiss border), and that's why i'm late publishing the promised "family portrait". Probably tomorrow! I hope that a corresponding Edixa => Sony E adapter will arrive next week. Of course i'm quite curious about the Topcors performance, even though i fear they're a bit over-hyped. But let's see ...

The 58/1.8, 58/1.4, & 85/1.8 are not hype, they are some very impressive lenses, my Topcor's are all tagged in my Flickr feed.

Just be careful with the rubber focus grip, some lenses they become dried out and brittle, just have to run your fingernail across the rubber, if it feels soft and grippy you should be fine.

Thanks for that advise! Luckily, only two of the rubbers are a bit loose, but none of them is really dry / brittle.
And here are the "family photos" i promised earlier
