During it's life the diaphragm was moved from between elements 2 and 3 to between 3 and 4. The non-rotating mount was black with scalloped focusing and aperture setting rings. The aperture setting ring and the distance scale ring were chromed. The diaphragm had full and half click-stops and a preselector ring. The lens-hood was built-in and extendible. The screw mount fitted directly on the Visoflex I and adapter OUBIO/16466 was needed for Visoflex II and III. For fitting directly on the camera tube TZFOO/14039 was required for screw mount and TXBOO/14043 for bayonet mount. The lens head could be removed for mounting in a Bellows II Focorapid or Televit. The codeword/catalog number was TELOO/11063. It's minimum focusing distance was 3 meters. It's filter size was E58 and it weighed 625g. The lens was manufactured from 1959 to 1984. Bud
