Just won this lens and am curious if anyone has it or knows about it.
Would like to know if this is a CZJ lens or not, though it doesn't state so
on the lens. Thanks.

Click here to see on Ebay

Not CZJ, originally sold under the Meyer Lydith name; good lens though.

If you got a good copy that would be a very nice lens other ways an average one.

Attila, that version is the earlier one to mine, which is supposed to be
improved by optics and coating.

Meyer had reversed quality order ....
pre-war lenses are top lenses like Leica or CZ today latest ones labeled with Pentacon usually worst than previous lenses.
