I’m selling a very rare lens made by the famous optician Dr. P. Rudolph by the company Kleinbild-Plasmat-Gesellschaft. Now I’m not completely sure why this lens doesn’t have the marking Makro-Plasmat, like so many other pictures I see online, but I think it’s because it’s slightly older, before they renamed the lens to Makro-Plasmat. The full text on around the rim of the lens is Dr. P. Rudolph Kleinbild-Plasmat Sechslinsig 70mm f/2.7. Like the name suggests, Sechslinsig can be translated to six-element or six-lens. This specific lens design was patented by Dr. Paul Rudolph (D.R.P. DE572222) in 1931, and was approved in 1933.

Dr. Rudolph was a highly influential optical designer best known for creating groundbreaking lenses such as the Tessar (for Zeiss) and later the Plasmat lenses.

Condition: One scratch on the front element, no fungus, no haze, very clean glass other than that one scratch. Aperture works nicely, slow shutter at lower speeds.
