I found this thing today. There isn't much about it on the interwebs, and I ordered a mount for it, so I'll get to use it later this week. Does any know anything about this lens?

It's a Steinheil Munchen Culminar 135mm 2.8

"The 135 F2.8 Auto Tele-Quinar is an excellent midrange telephoto lens. It features a fully automatic diaphragm and stops down to f/32. The lens is rather heavy and focuses as close as 5' . An advantage with this lens is its' built-in tripod mount which provides for a more secure setup when using this lens on a tripod.

There were two versions of this lens, the earlier version is displayed on the left and has a chrome finish stopdown plunger housing whereas on the the latter, the housing is black. The lenses are displayed with their proper caps and one lens shade."

That's what I know.

This resource might help: Catalog of Steinheil München lenses.

You might want to make inquiries on a RF (range finder) camera forum.

Thanks, I found those, but the info is quite limited.
