I just got this in my mailbox. It is Tominon 105mm f/4.5 in COPAL No. 0 shutter. Surprisingly, it was in like a brand new condition. I use it on my Nikon bellow attached to Olympus E330. Here are some photos taken without post processing.

It was raining in the morning.

I think that was intended as a macro lens ?

Nice to get a Copal shutter, yours is probably the small size. If you get a small modern lens as loose lens cells, which can sometimes be found cheap, the standard sized Copals can be used to mount them.

It is a great macro lens for its price; I have the barrel mount versions (and all the others of that series down to 17mm).
Their only downside is the M40x0.75 thread mount (fitting directly into a shutter) but needs a adaptor ring to mount
on a helicoid or bellows (I have a few of these adaptors).

This is how the lens looks like :



It says Copal made for Polaroid , for 4x5 WORKS.

Oh, this is the shutter, not teh barrel version. Barrel versions can be had for $25 or so...
