Luiz thanks!
The link to the G.Abramov,s website turns my light meter from the GOI, because there is no the logo of the plant and the rooms !?

Here it is Alexander!

Thank you, Martti. My congratulations once more.
The golden color seems a little strange for me. Do you have any explanation for this?

Regards, Alexander

I dont have a good digital camera and it was difficul to make a good picture. Golden color is good. And I am second owner of the camera, guy found it in here home and it was his grandfathers!

Another find

Victory day, May 9, is here! Significantly it is also Europe day!

In this spirit I hope you will be lenient with me if I bring into the celebrations a German that just arrived here in Lisbon.

You can see the Jena girl below with her cousin from Leningrad.
Their curves display the co-operation spirit of the the 1930s :)
The Zeiss lens is f2.8, while the Gomz glass is f3.5, with filter threads of 25 and 24 mm respectively. Early production versions os the Gomz lens seem to have closed to f22 like the Zeiss, but mine only goes to f16.

Since I went to the "Sport" shelf, I took also a couple of shots of two Industar 10 lenses together.
You can see them side by side and the Komz version mounted on the Sport. It lacks a locking device, but can be mounted in only a specific angle and is held just by friction.
Aperture is adjusted by the main ring and focus works perfectly using the lever.

Komz on Gomz:

С Днем Победы!
Happy Europe Day!

Of course the Sport has a Strong Contax I look up to the name written with the same font design as Contax.... the vertical travelling metal shutter.... the lens infinity lock....

Louis,
don't you accidentally confused it with Exakta? May be the same font design as by Contax, but the rest...

P.S. I suggest to move this Sport discussion to the own thread.

Luiz,
OK, I agree with you about the lens, it seems really to be similar, but the lens-lock and the vertical travelling metal shutter are almost 100% Exakta.

Regards, Alexander

The external lock has a Ihagee look, but it is an infinity lock.

The lens lock is actually a rather original system hidden inside the lens.

When one looks at the back of the lens, Alexander's observation makes all sense, although there is no pin as in the Exakta.

And a Zeiss Tessar 8/2,8cm.
This is a very rare screw mount one, made in 1940 by the "Thiele", and modified probably in 1945 "for the Russians". At Jena by the factory?
