Because I'm covering all Tomioka-made industrial & enlarging lenses I was able to find any information about, I would love to also include your giant Tominon lens in there. That's why I wanted to ask you if it would be okay to include some of your shots and findings you shared of course with credit to your name + a link to this thread and the gallery on your website? I would really appreciate it! simplejoy ... Please feel free to use whatever you might need. I can't selectively turn on downloads for specific visitors/users to the test bed gallery, but browse to the gallery album to select individual photos... then use the 3-dot menu (...) to select "Full Photo", and use a mouse left-click 'save as' to copy them locally.
Thank you very much - that's really kind! I'll let you know once the article is online, so you can see if the way I've included and attributed it, is fine with you! Let me tell you, there is quite a number of (hopefully interesting) different Tomioka-made lenses in there. Ever seen this one It has a mirror at the rear end of the lens, so you can't even look through. I've seen similar lenses by Zeiss but never understood why they were like that and how they were actually used. I'm sure it's for some industrial application, perhaps something to do with a laser getting in and out of there... I found a way to take some images with this lens regardless and it was quite a lot of fun.

I've seen FAX & copying machines with that focal length & f-stop.

I've seen FAX & copying machines with that focal length & f-stop. Thanks. That might be its original application. There are also some Fax-Topcors with similar specs around.
