I need help ! I find and buy this old lenses in garage sale here.. The lenses have been modified and are within a larger structure, with bayonets and rails, I can not imagine how much was expensive having manufactured this kind of armor.

It seems to be a part of a night vision device...in my opinion. I´ve seen like this on a flea market on a russian model. But i´m not sure.

The Summicron (and Xenon) were also used as repro lenses, even Leitz himself had a solution for that with closeup focusing (I have that model, called "Nah-Summicron").

Here are some of my results using it: https://www.flickr.com/photos/kds315/albums/72157628997446415

Hi Klaus, I had never read about lenses repro, only rings inverters that are mount on one side and filter thread on the other. you have a price estimate of such lenses and how they can be used?

NOpe, no price estimate. Need to be unhoused and then mounted to some suitable helicoid with camera mount to use them.

Wow, I can not imagine what to do with them or at least to dismantle them. If I can sell for 150-200 dollars, I will be happy to recover my investment.
