HOW HAVE I NOT SEEN THIS BEFORE?
>> Martin !!ve2Q1ETWmJH
After a little searching, discovered a french site with a small amount of info about the lens on.

>Une génération plus tôt : ce 400 mm ouvert à f/1,5 a été conçu par Carl Zeiss pour équiper par exemple les U-BOOT qui croisaient dans l’Atlantique au début des années quarante.

My french is rough, from what I can translate; its a Carl Zeiss 400/f1.5 Prototype?
