Canon lense not made In Germany?

[luke_randall]

I made a mistake about lense-

 

To Andrew Robinson's remark- I am wrong about this lense. The carrying case said cannon 100mm f:3.5

and inside was a 100mm f 4,5 lense that said "Enna werk Munchen U.S. zone Germany . I failed to notice

the argus Tele Sandmar label because all I saw was !00mm made in Germany. I then went to the canon

website and thought I had Identified a lense similar to this one and got excited. Much to my

dissappointment it does not fit on the screw on Leica someone gave me yesterday. The lense is smaller in

diameter. The responses were helpful even though the situation was not as described.

What's the real question? Can you be clearer about what you received and what you expected? Canon is a popular Japanese lens brand. If you received one spelled wrong you have a bad or unique lens.

It could be for a cine camera

Luis, odds are that the Tele-Sandmar was made for an Argus RF.

 

Luke, lenses that Canon didn't make will fit in a case that Canon made. Your Tele-Sandmar was made by Enna. Another instance of, um, the lack of relationship between a book's cover and its contents.

Does the lens look like this?

It looks like it fits an Argus RF like Dan suggested. The picture shows it on an Argus C3.

There is much difference between a Canon and a "cannon"!

One is a Japanese optic and the other is an artillery piece.

Yes, It is just like that Tele Sandmar on argus camera. That looks like a nice camera.
