Does anyone knows any information about this lens? Even the seller knows nothing about it.

I'm pretty sure that this is a remounted old large-format lens. Got quite a lot of this kind of lenses during my collecting years.
It is odd and interesting for collectors (only).
And it is not a prototype lens! Or does anyone think, that a lensmaker would forget all about his technical skills when making a prototype and would begin to hammer all markings, instead of engraving? Prototype lenses were made always absolutly exact (not always with complete housing), otherwise all testing and measuring would be a guesswork.

Thanks for the information.
I assume it is a Komura 4x5 lens. |
