For sale is a Very Rare Antique Carl Zeiss Jena Protar 1:18 f = 315 mm Camera Lens.
It has several engravings / numbers. The Focal scale is engraved F / 18, 22.6, 32, 45.2, 64. On the same ring as the focal scale it is engraved in italics 'DRP 84996'. On the outer ring it is engraved 'Carl Zeiss Jena No. 39446 Protar 1:18 F = 315mm D.R.P. 56109. The aperture ring opens and closes smoothly.
The diameter of the metal casing to the front and rear of the lens is approx. 32mm. It is approx. 25mm in total lengthand approx. 17mm long from the fixing plate.
The lens itself is actually in very good condition. It is very clear, you can see some specks inside and some scratches but is free from fungus or any major damage. This is an old lens so I am assuming it would require an degree of cleaning / restoration before it is used. To avoid any doubt, I am selling the lens as spares / repair, please bear this in mind when offerding.
Many thanks for looking, please do ask any questions you may have.
