Would there be chance your Mamiya had it's rear element replaced?


As far as I can conclude from pictures of other lenses the rear element of my lens has different bracing from later Mamiya/Rolleinar lenses and from Yashika 50/1.4 lens. It is identical in every aspect to this lens apart from being convex https://picasaweb.google.com/dimitrygo/55mmF14LensesInAlphabeticalOrder#5422581439576312322

I have the Mamiya Auto Sekor 1.4 and also the original Tomioka version, called Auto Tominon. I think, this is the same lens.





best regards

This Voigtländer Color-Ultron 1.4/55 Click here to see on Ebay.de seems pretty interesting with "Lens made in West Germany" stated as origin. All samples i've seen so far had Japan (Mamiya Rollei too).

It has a typical Rollei Design so maybe it's made by Rollei?

Some other "Voigtländer" lenses like the Voigtländer Color Ultron 50/1.8 are identical to 50/1.8 CZ Planar and Rollei Planar HFT 50/1.8
They were Rollei/CZ license copys and produced in both Singapur and West Germany.
And the design of the casing looks very similar to the 55/1.4

I think it's only early Japan version and they might be less strict with origin declaration at the time.
