B&L Zeiss, made before 1918. It's a trip to use it with the bellows rail. I'm fascinated with the results I have been getting with it. Both of these were shot with the front element removed, using the 19 blade aperture to adjust softness of the image. It appears to make two images in that configuration, one in focus, and a second that's far from being focused. It creates some unusual looking images if conditions are right. In the normal tessar "as designed" configuration it rivals current lenses for macro and as about a 150mm tele with the exception that contrast is lower. The last shot is with the front element off to show the 19 blade aperture.

Looks like fun. Tape a piece of tinfoil, with a pinhole, over the stopped down shutter. Should work well.
