[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I was digging through an old box (no, this is not an April's Fool joke ;) and found the following items. I'm hoping that someone on this list can help me identify the following Zeiss bits (oven though it's off-topic): a) Some kind of close-up lens or possibly a filter. The markings around the chrome ring read: "Germany, 909, Carl Zeiss, Proxar f=0.3m A28.5". It is in MT/MT- condition. It comes in a small, clear, plastic, hinged case, with "Zeiss Ikon A-G Stuttgart, 909" marked on it. No screw thread: seems that it should be pushed onto a lens. b) A yellow filter in original cardboard box and a similar plastic case as the one above. The markings along the chrome ring on this one reads "Zeiss Ikon Stuttgart, 382, S27, Germany, G, 2x". The plastic case is marked "Zeiss Ikon A-G Stuttgart, 322, 349, 382, 910". Condition of filter is MT/MT-. The box reads "S27, 382/G" on the side and "HELL-GELB-FILTER" on the top. c) A small, round, brown leather case with flap lid and push-button fastening on a narrow, leather strap. Probably too short to be a camera strap. The case has "Made in Germany" stamped into the leather. The case/compartment contains a push-on lens hood, which has a brushed aluminium exterior and matte black interior. Markings along the rim of the hood read: "Zeiss Ikon Stuttgart, Germany, 1110 A 28.5". Condition of hood is EX++ (some grubbiness in the light side). Condition of case is EX++ (a few faint marks in one place on the case, otherwise mint). d) Something that can only be a close-up frame: Three sides of a rectangle end in two long legs that form struts angled at 90 degrees to the rectangle frame: These struts end in a lens. The markings on the lens read "Spektra, Sweden, B20, Nr 75351, Pat. Pend.". There is a small (bent) screw on the side of the lens which, when tightened, stops the inner part from swivelling. Condition of glass is mint, condition of lens barrel is MT- (plus bent screw), condition of frame is a fair amount of the black paint has been flaked off. So, can anyone tell me what camera these are for? Are they worth anything? Anyone interested in buying them? ;) M. - -- Martin Howard, Grad.
