Zeiss Sturzvisier Sonnar glass inside postwar cottage industry barrels. So old WWII military optics. I have one of them here.

After (for years) all kinds of rumors Marco Cavina wrote this about them:

Best researched article on them. For a long time it has been unclear what history they had. Mounts usually LTM, possibly Contax RF and there exists one with an Meopta RF mount, seen that one auctioned in Austria.

BTW, the header of this thread is misleading, way more Sonnar 5cm 1.5 LTMs exists and are considered Zeiss products.

Met vriendelijke groet, Ernst

Did the Facebook link work for you? I once could get there but I have no FB account anymore. Tried to find the article somewhere else but failed at that.
