Help identifying another camera equipment piece

[Markf98]

I've acquired another camera piece any help identifying it would be awesome.

I could be wrong, but I think this Jena lens is for a 4X5 large format camera.

Old Zeiss lens. Tessar. Look on ebay vintage camera lenses.

Looks like a Carl Zeiss Jena, 15 centimeter focal length f/4.5 Tessar design lens, with multi-bladed iris diaphragm, lens is Number 609387, mounted in a focusing helicoid (the screw thread mechanism).

It's in a really strange configuration though. I'm not really sure what camera it would have come off of.

No shutter, might have had a curtain?

That lens was made in 1925

Serial # looks to be from 1925.

Hmm, maybe this site is wrong?

If thats where it came from, it's a shame that someone cannibalized such a beautiful camera.

Yes, the wiki has a Mod.1 with a f/4.5 but early 1910s production run. Maybe a later variant(?)
I've never seen those cameras before. The Miniatur-Klapp 4.5x6 looks ace !!

Very interesting thread. Beautiful camera that the lens would go on.
