I was given a strange Fujita 135mm f4.5 lens in a leather case , M42 fit some time ago -- thought you might like to see it

Yes, keep it.
Its a true curiosity if little known. Quite collectible.
You have the nicer chrome and black version in the original makers (Fujita) brand.

I do have this one in Asahiflex M37 mount. Indeed the smallest 135mm lens ever (I think):

what? smaller than a Ziuko 135mm f3.5?

Yes, it's truly tiny, only the Tamron Twin-Tele 135/225 is close in the tiny stakes.

How large (small) is it actually?

Nice results, with a definite "cool factor". Good collector piece. Fujita made some Soligor-branded lenses as well as others IIRC.

It's a tiny lens alright! A couple of years ago I managed to shoot at a Championship football match with it on a Nex, stewards thought it was a compact Laughing

If it is smaller than this, it is indeed tiny.
OH

Steinheil Culminar 4.5/135, Asahi Super Takumar 135/3.5, Tamron Twin Tele 4.5/135, Fujuta 4.5/135

Mine is an all-black version from a US distributor, "Peerotar" brand, used by Peers Cameras, a US store chain of those days.

Tiny lenses appeal to me, but I've never bothered with the Tamron or Fujita because I have the J11 4/135 and Schneider Tele-Xenar 4/135, which are not as tiny, but are still pretty small. I see the Fujita (sometimes in other brands) from time to time on ebay, maybe one day I'll get curious. Smile
