Noflexar system lens construction schematics12/28/2023 Speaks of the lens heads being made by Leica. I found this through Google - seems very good information. The three element one is supposed to be an improvement over the two element one. Maybe an early version of the 12.5 and 25 mm Micro Rokkors was a rebadged Leitz Photar.Īnyway, which 400mm did you buy? There is a two element Noflexar 400mm f/5.6 and a three element Noflexar T 400mm f/5.6. I don't claim that my knowledge on the subject is anywhere near perfect though, please show me wrong. The only lens I know of made by Leitz and badged as something else is a Minolta 90mm f/4 for the M system, and only the first version of that lens. They are clearly labelled as being Leitz Telyt lenses. I think two things may be mixed up here: I have never heard of Leica glass being used in Noflexar lenses, but there are Leitz lens heads made for the Novoflex system, a 400mm f/6.8 and 560mm f/6.8 certainly. There was this quote from a forum: "The quality of the 400mm is, I think, quite good, if it is the f:5.6 version (achromatic Lens from Leitz)." They stated that Novoflex made cameras and lenses for Leica I think maybe the other way around - Leica glass in some Noflexar lenses. I can't find much history on the internet except for something very brief by Camerapedia, but I question some of their information. I'm hoping some of you can provide more information on Novoflex and Noflexar lenses and the history of the company. I have seen many comments about the 400mm being a good, sharp lens, so am hoping it is true.

I don't own this lens, but I have some Schneider Xenar lenses from that period and it made me curious.

Would anyone know which company designed and produced this Noflexar lens? Novoflex had a Noflexar 3.5/105mm for LTM in the list. Those were available in 1956 in Leica thread mount, with the exception of the 105mm. For the use on a Novoflex bellows Schneider-Kreuznach had a series of Xenar lenses available, like the 105mm, 135mm, 150mm and 180mm.
