Is the winner among us? Or does anyone know anything about it?

 

I was tempted to bid but I'm on an eBay diet.

Cinekon were badge engineers...

 

'tis a lot of loot for an unknown :P

 

1.75x stretch MIJ, so probably a Kenko

 

I feel I didnt miss anything, besides its probably no good for wide apertures

nah mate..

that was a very nice lens and if i had of been around i would of snapped it for more money.

made in japan in the 60s a little bigger than baby hypergonar,yashicascope style.
slightly larger front and back optic chretien recipe.
great potential if calibrated properly as good as any of the other baby lens.
added advantage of focus adjustment.
1.5x compression another rebadge probably yashica again.
not kowa as it is to light weight for kowa optics.
as good as some of the best baby 8mm not in the same league as baby moller could get closer to baby hypergonar.
all roads are heading towards a rare vintage bargain.
the winner needs to treat gently as the focus is refined and quite dainty.</p>
even if it is soft it is worth a repair,only attempt taking apart if you trust yourself these can be destroyed much easier than todays shit.

I was watching that but didn't go for it. Just didn't know enough about it.
