> Yesterday, a Polish gentleman (friend of my uncle) gave me a couple  
> of items he inherited from a relative. Among them is a lens in a  
> screw mount of some sort, with the following marking:
>
> Carl Zeiss Jena Nr. 706197
> Tessar 1:4.5 f=12 cm
>
> The lens is in remarkably good shape considering its age (I do not  
> know how old it is but surely it IS old). The aperture is clickless,  
> the focusing scale in metres only.
>
> The lens is very heavy despite the modest amount of glass due to its  
> very solid brass construction.
>
> Anyone know anything about this lens? I suspect it is just a  
> paperweight--there is no rangefinder coupling of any kind, so it is  
> certainly useless on a Leica Mx.
