Anybody familiar with Taylor. C. 135mm 4.5? Its a zebra finish and a gorgeous lens. Taylor Hobson of course have a stellar reputation but I'm not familiar enough to know this is their work. A standard google search show absolulely nothing like it (a first for me!)

It is Fujita lenses Wink

I have the F/4.5 as "Fujitar". Very Happy

There is one "Wirgar" branded on eBay too. Click here to see on Ebay

The serial has "FT" letters on these, probably "shortcode" for Fujita.The lens is known to be the most compact 135mm lens in m42 mount and have decent IQ.
