Dufay sounds like it may be one of many merchants brands used for Japanese lenses from the 1950's-1970's. Dufay was actually a color film process (an early European competitor for Kodachrome, etc.). Perhaps the brand has something to do with that. Many brands were re-used for completely different products.
Many importers or even camera stores put their names on lenses purchased from a group of Japanese lens companies - you may know these makers from their later products as Tokina, Kiron, Komine, Sankor, Cosina, Sun, etc., there were about 12-15 perhaps.
A picture would help, possibly, to identify the maker. There are often clues in the design and details of the lens. _________________ I like Pentax DSLR's, Exaktas, M42 bodies of all kinds, strange and cheap Japanese lenses, and am dabbling in medium format/Speed Graphic work. |
