AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
I am selling the very extensive photography collection of my late father. He was a passionate hobby photographer for 65 years and in recent years also experimented with alternative lenses on digital cameras. He would disassemble the lenses if necessary for cleaning or repair. I am not a photography expert myself, so I describe the lot as thoroughly as possible, including as many detailed photos as possible.
READ the information below and carefully examine the attached photos to avoid any misunderstandings.
information found on the internet:
This ENNA München Lithagon 28mm f/3.5 is not just any wide-angle lens, but a special piece of German camera history — equipped with the rare ENNA saddle system.
At a time when photographers often used multiple cameras, ENNA devised a smart and forward-thinking concept: one high-quality lens with a replaceable mount. The optics form the heart of the lens, while the rear consists of a detachable mount element that could be easily swapped. This way, the same lens could be used on different camera systems without compromising on quality.
This system makes this Lithagon not only technically interesting, but also collectible. You can see and feel the craftsmanship from the 1950s/1960s: a fully metal construction, precise mechanics, and a design that was ahead of its time. The pedestal sits firmly and forms one piece with the lens, exactly as intended by ENNA Werk München.
Optically, the Lithagon delivers a classic 28mm wide-angle perspective with a distinctive vintage rendering. Ideal for landscapes, architecture, and mood images where you’re not after clinical perfection, but images with character and history. (6 elements in 6 groups)
This pedestal variant tells a story of innovation and flexibility — a lens for the enthusiast who loves technology, history, and mindful photography. A beautiful object for collectors, but also perfectly usable on modern cameras with the right adapter.
This lens comes without a specific mount.
The lens still looks very clean, and the aperture is adjustable.
The photos are also part of the description.
Combined shipping of lots is possible, but only if they are won in the same auction. This is to save on shipping costs.
