I was perusing eBay earlier today and came across this listing:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/CARL-MEYER-TELEPHOTO-135MM-2-8-IN-CASE-WITH-BURKE-JAMES-STUDIO-APPROVED-MOUNT/222931045536?hash=item33e7b9cca0:g:TngAAOSwCAVa19Y2

Except for that "studio approved mount" and chrome tip the thing is a dead ringer for one of my Soligor lenses. (Ironically, currently attached to my DSLR).

Looks like we can add another lens to the Komura manufactured list.

Yep, Burke&James was another rebranding importer.

SLR lenses are new to me, but it makes sense.

It could be rare enough to be collectible, to someone.

$676? !!! What do they know that I don't?

I sold a pair of these under other brands for @$50 each a few years ago.
So people are after them.

I have another, no aperture mechanism but otherwise functional.

If someone wants it for $676 they are welcome!

Just get the cheaper one and sold the one with Carl Meyer if you own one. Laugh 1
