the translation is savorous... the teleconverters will double or treble the focal length... it the invention of the vibrating lens... sharper than the new antishake systems ?

Wiki already knows a lot of these, why not checking that first...

Adding the brochure scan to that topic could be a good idea?

I own one of these Japanese Helios 135mm F/2.8 lenses.. these are definitely not Soviet made, feels very different too in your hands, even though it's M42 mount and came with one of my Zenits ...

These lenses were sold from around 1975. TOE was the cheif camera seller in England. Zenit outsold all other SLR cameras, and the then Mshpriborintorg/ Technointorg could not fulfil the huge lens requests! They completed the line with Japanese imports. I believe that thesese are original CYMAKO made and rebranded lenses

A forgotten detail:
TOE was founded with 51 per cent capital from Mashpriborintorg )Foto-kino division) 49 per cent from local dealers.

Thanks, there was a discussion about TOE some time ago and I was left alone saying that it was a USSR-company. You give proof that the masters voice came from Moscow...
