Re: cheap Tominon 127mm lenses

More Deja news:

For a start, does the shutter say "made in Germany" or "made in Japan," that
will establish if it is a Prontor or Copal. If the lens is mounted in the
shutter, (shutter iris in the middle) it is for a MP-3 or CU-5, if the lens is
mounted on the shutter, that is a complete lens barrel screwed on to the front
of the shutter, it is for an MP-4. the 105 is, as I understand it a tessar
formula lens. The 105 is really designed for the beginning of macro photography
with the MP cameras. the 127 is the "normal" lens for regualar copying and then
there is a range of smaller sizes all the way down to 17mm for 10x macro shots.

  Do you know if this is the shutter behind
or shutter in the middle type?

  Secondly, supposedly these have a non-standard
thread on the shutter. So hopefully the nut is
included or we'll have to try to get something
machined (or just use glue).
