Picked this lens/shutter combo off the bay. STELO shutter works, albeit tardy at slow speeds, regardless, I set to B and let the a7rii shutter do its thing . Glass was a bit dirty, removed from shutter and thoroughly cleaned with isopropyl it became crystal clear. Mounted in a metal m42 body cap with a hole drilled. Typical of uncoated glass from the era (late 1920's to early 1930's based on art deco shutter?) Mounted on my minolta auto bellows iii with minolta > m42 adapter. These are unmodified jpgs resized with the mfl widget.

Nicely done. That's a characterful lens. Triplet?

Yes. The lens was easily dis-assembled. I had to remove a tiny limiting screw from the bezel of the front mount which is a focus element otherwise just using mild thumb pressure the elements unscrewed from the shutter. They cleaned up nicely with isopropyl. I was somewhat surprised how good the images were. Zeh made a camera called a "Goldi" that was reviewed by a "Quirky Camera Guy" that got me to try it.
