That Rodenstock Rotelar 135 is a weirdly handsome piece.
Very sculptural.
They certainly don't make them like that anymore.

Some of them look like mods. Orestor 100/2.8 in FD mount? With M42 aperture pin? And that supposedly German "Berolina" with JCII sticker and A/M switch that looks so familiar.

I think they are modified, seems to be well done, some could use a good cleaning, I don't know why some people don't clean their lenses prior to selling, they could sell for more...
I do like that Olympus Exakta 4cm.

At least he's being honest:
"VINTAGE beautiful LENSES WELL PRESERVED,BUT do NOT PRETEND TO be IDEAL.SOLD AS IS"

Yes, that's a Japanese lens for sure.

Which, amazingly, turns out to be a real thing.

Mamiya and Topcon both produced cameras with the Exakta mount. Funnily enough, the standard lens for the Mamiya was made by Canon, a 1.8/50 with amber coating, not the same as the contemporary Canomatic 1.8/50.

So I'm guessing that Olympus in Exakta was more aimed towards Mamiya and Topcon users than actual Exakta users.

I dont really know and am wary of burning my mouth again.

But I wouldnt rule out the possibility that Berolina is simply a fantasy (re)label like Danubia, Soligor ...

What would irk me about the lens is that it has the polygon-rounded grips I know from 55/1.8.
