I never had seen one of this.
I never saw it in the contarex lenses catalogue, I guess.
It seems to be an Industrial lens, doesn't it?

In the 60's I have read that the physical limit to build fast lenses were the F/ 0,75.
But........who knows?

It says on the auction site it was a one-off produced for marketing purposes so maybe the 0.33 is a bit of an exaggeration for publicity purposes?
It took a couple of years to get the Kollmorgen adapter and Zeiss 0.85/50mm lens to work together properly for Barry Lyndon and Kubrick spent a fortune doing so, ultra fast lenses are nto easy to make or use!
BTW, I recommend Barry Lyndon to everyone, not for the storyline (which I like) but for the cinematography, it is truly exquisite, particularly the indoor scenes lit by candlelight. I think A Clockwork Orange was a big part of the influence on me to become interested in artistic photogrpahy, gotta love Kubrick!

Hmm, enlarger condenser lens cobbled into a contarex mount, not even a useable lens...
I could make one, just get an old condenser lens and cobble it onto a Helios-44 body with some conical metal! lol

[copied from another thread]
Looking at this, and other bulbous lenses, reminds me of this article [ http://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2010/11/the-schott-heard-around-the-world ] and this 'lens':
| Quote: |
| "Photographers... didn’t really have a lens, back in the 1860s, that would let them shoot a wide-angle scenic image. Thomas Sutton, an English photographer, noticed the wide angle of view he saw when looking through one of those water filled snowglobes ... and designed a lens that consisted of a water filled globe." |
It was slow and required a globular frame for film, so it didn't really succeed. But I makes me wonder: Could it be kludged? For those who can't afford an enlarger condenser lens, why not just get a globe fishbowl and half-fill it with optical resin, like that windshield-repair resin we can use to fix lens scratches and cracks? Put that on a suitable body and mount, and VOILA!

What other elements would you need to make a fisheye with one of those?
Wouldn't you need some collimating elements behind it?
