Whew! It took some googling but I finally tracked this one down. It looks like the lens from a Pentax Nocta from 1966, which is part-way down this page:
http://www.aohc.it/oddse1.htm Any comments, Dario? As rare as it must be, the starting price on this auction looks ludicrously high. Terms such as "IR focusing system" and "image intensifier" came up in references to this lens. It seems like that function of the lens has gone out-of-service and has been replaced with a simple mounting tube which looks unoriginal and most un-Asahi-like in its style and finish. regards, Anthony "Of what use is lens and light to those who lack in mind and sight" (Anon) 2010/7/3 Michel Carrère-Gée <[email protected]>: > http://cgi.ebay.com/Asahi-NC-Takumar-3-3-300mm-Pentax-M42-/350370216253 > > Strange, never seen, unknow: NC (?)
