Manufacturers tried to generate additional business by offering interchangeable lenses and one such manufacturer was Meyer-Optik-Görlitz, founded by Hugo Meyer in 1896. Görlitz is a city in the eastern part of Germany, in the state of Saxony, right at the border with Poland. Meyer Optik offered some of the very best interchangable lenses.
In 1918 Dr. Paul Rudolph, the inventor of Zeiss' Tessar and Protar, developed Meyer's Double Plasmat which was derived from ...Meyer's symmetrical Euryplan lens. In the 1920s he developed fast variants, the Kino-Plasmat f/2 and the World's fastest lens of its time, the Kino-Plasmat f/1.5 .
This Meyer-Görlitz Kino Plasmat 2.5cm/f1.5 is rare and desirable. With a serial number of 501975 this lens was made around 1930 and was mounted on a Cine Nizo 9.5mm model F camera. (Brass shims & screws are included.)
Although well used & only in a cosmetically fair+ condition, it is clean & working. Focus & aperture rings move smoothly with the aperture requiring much more force to move. Please examine all pictures!
