These came in different sizes and magnifications. When ordering you had to specify focal length and lens diameter and required magnification. Quite nifty in fact. Used to have one in the ´sixties. The company probably does not exist any more. All the best! Raimo Photos at http://personal.inet.fi/private/raimo.korhonen
