Vitor Manuel Dias de Amorim asked:

>I have a 800mm f/5 TEWE-BERLIN lens and I'd like to know something
about the company who made it.


I know very little about other than it seems to have operated in the
1940s/50s, and to have specialised in long-focus lenses for cine and
still use. The only lens types I've seen listed are the Telon and
Telagon long-focus lenses, also an 8.5cm f2.8 cine projection lens.

Focal lengths of the long-focus offerings ranged from 300 - 2,000mm.

As Marc says, they also made the Polyfocus zoom-optic universal
finder.
