super paxette

[old bob]

I have been working on a Braun Super Paxette 11 and I am now ready to run a foll of film through it but I am now looking for some information on the super paxette lenses, a lot of the lenses carry the names of various manufacturers and online info tells me that unbranded lenses had pointikar stamped on them, all the super paxettes I have seen for sale over the last couple of months with the pointikar lens are f2.8, 45mm, the lens on my super paxette is a pointikar f2.8, 50mm lens, does anyone have any information on this lens and who was the actual manufacturer of these lense, again online information is vague and contradictory,

When searching for a Pointikar f.2.8, 50 mm nothing shows up. Some sites list 'pointkar' not 'pointikar' lenses. Maybe this website is useful: http://www.cjs-classic-cameras.co.uk/paxette/paxette.html Alternatively, try to contact the owner of this site for information on your lens. Cheers, OtL

From what I can find online these lenses were made by Roeschlein.

Roeschlein definitely made the Pointikars, I read it in one of the Braun leaflets. The other makers of lenses for the Braun were: Schneider Kreuznach, Enna-Munchen, Staeble, Isco-Gottingen, Wray and Carl Zeiss. Some 3 dozen lenses were made by these manufacturers plus, possibly, rf coupled and non rf versions of the same lens making the total higher. I have listed 34 so far after searching through ads, books, auctions, photos etc

Incidentally the Neidig Perlux and the DeJur 1 & 3 were made for Braun lenses.
