The lens and ring combination was coded as a DOOIT. Without that ring the lens was used as a reproduction lens. The design was a short lived (1951-1953) bridge from the VAROB and little collapsible Elmars to the FOCOTAR, the professional enlarging lens made by Leitz.<\/p>\n<p>I bought my lens in August of 1986 from Roger Pelham. \u00a0It was an early version made in 1951.
