The very first edition of the Pentacon 50mmichael n1.8 is called Meyer Oreston 50mmeters y1.8 without any indicator of relating itself to thé VEB Pentacon company. Most of their lenses were made either by Carl Zeiss Jena (Eastern German portion of the first pre-war CarI Zeiss AG) ór Hugo Meyer, twó of optics increases in European countries at that period. This particular model is usually the last of its very own range before a slightly revised edition in the newer N bayonet bracket was launched. It is usually even not sure whether they almost all arrived from the same producer. Occasionally there had been good factors that their company was small but I think it can be not impossible that some of them produced decent lenses. There had been quite a several smaller zoom lens producers in pre-war Philippines. Quite rare, especially in small leather cased outfit with Graflex 2-cell flash.It is certainly quite sharp even broad open up, but comparing it to an east german born post-war Tessar lens clearly displays that the second option is better.Ĭompared to my 165mmichael Triotar- properly you cant evaluate them-the Trioplan can be that very much better. Probably the only official military Mini Speed. Three red dots in the front glass of the top viewfinder, a special black flash solenoid above the lens and the official military (plastic this time) plate attached to outside of the front door are obvious differences from the civilian version. Standard black leather/chrome hardware finish.


Quite common but rare in the complete leather cased C-3 outfit. Official military metal plate attached to outside of front door. Some cameras have three red dots in the front glass of the top viewfinder. In some complete outfits there was also a Kodak Supermatic/Bausch & Lomb f6.8 88mm WA lens. Lenses and shutters include Alphax shutter/Kodak Anastigmat f4.5 6 3/8' lens, Kodak Supermatic/Kodak Anastigmat f4.5 6 3/8' lens, Graphex/Optar f4.5 6 3/8' lens and Kodak Supermatic/Ektar f4.7 127mm lens, Ilex Acme No 3 shutter/Paragon f4.5 5 1/2' lens. Standard black leather covering but chrome or black bed hardware depending on year. Originally equipped with Compur shutter/Kodak Anastigmat f4.5 6 3/8' lens but later replaced (on existing serving cameras) about 1941 with Alphax shutter/Kodak Anastigmat f4.5 6 3/8' lens to bring them into line with the 'new' Anniversary model C-3. Standard black leather/grey bed hardware.
