Perhaps the finest are the Carl Zeiss Jena lenses -- the 2/8.5cm and 1.5/5cm Sonnars are not uncommon, but the others are rare -- while JSK and Rodenstock marketed lenses, as well. So did Kodak. So did Wray, and Ross, and SOM Berthiot. And dozens of other companies. A relatively good list can be found in "HPR" (Hans P Rajner), LEICA COPIES.
