Anyone ever heard of Kilfitt lenses?

>Every Kilfitt lens was tested before leaving the factory. Film was not considered flat enough for accurate tests, so it was shot on glass plates -- two of them. One plate went out with the lens, the other stayed at the factory for future comparisons if the lens was ever returned for repairs. The lenses were bolted to a tripod head mounted in concrete in the basement of the Kilfitt factory.

Things like a 75/1.3, or the world's first 35mm still zoom, a constant aperture 36-82/2.8.

Too bad they're gone now.

Voigtlander built it, but the Kilfitt people designed it.
