Piesker was a West German company, made a bunch of lenses under its own name and also as a contract manufacturer in M42 and Exakta mounts. Their fast medium teles - Picon 85/2 and 100/2.8 are rare, 100/2.8 comes up every once in a while and I've never seen the 85. I have the 100/2.8 and I love it. Post some samples of the 85. |

((quote Lens Vademecum - you shoulld buy a copy!!))
Paul Piesker, Berlin, Germany.
This brand is scarce/unknown in the UK and seems to have lacked an importer, but rather specialized in sales
in Germany and USA. It was regularly listed in the USA in the 1960's. A possible explanation was that they
were a source of agents label lenses in the UK. One noted in the UK seems to be a prewar lens for a Bentzin
Primareflex so they were apparently active pre-WW2 and this is in keeping with one report which added they
were a relatively small firm. Other notes have allowed more of the production to be collected here. Lenses
were often listed without a makers name and it has been difficult to recognize some of the products eg Voss
and Votar, so the products were listed in several places in Vademec 2 as a result. Initially Piesker was noted
for a TelePicon, f5.5, 180-250mm and other long lenses. (Modern Photo 08/1964, p57). In fact the range
seems to have been a quite extensive one.((unquote)) _________________ Klaus - Admin

My only Peisker is the Picon 3.5/135 and it is wonderful.
