I don't know the manufacturer. It cost a fortune new, around 1980. It doesn't actually mount on the camera, I just posed them together. I'm actually selling it on eBay (UK only), but it would suit an enthusiast, as you'd have to adapt it to fit, and it has one element of yellow glass at the rear. I don't know if using PS would enable you to remove the yellow PP. It's one of those projects I never got round to. Anyone fancy it? Current bid is £14.99 ! It weighs 5.5kg! Mark.

It's actually 170mm f/1.1, but the focal plane is close to the rear of the lens, so it needs a relay lens (which I also have with it) to throw the focus out further. That makes it roughly 200/1.4. The front lens is 150mm across, it's quite a beast! Mark.
