An 8 1/4" Dagor which seems to be original since it's near mint in it's 
brass mount.  I bought a Carl Zeiss Tessar from the 80s that I thought 
I'd drop in there just to see what happens.  The Dagor is nice but 
blimey! it's a bit difficult to adjust the aperture.  I'm beginning to 
see where the "f8 and be there"  came from...you set the camera to f8 
and don't move it for nothin!
