So the Mutars date only back to 1963? I did not know that. Thought
they had them earlier but guess not.
Carl Zeiss Jena produced the 4X Magnar immediately before WWI; this
came only with a Bayonet I fitting. CZJ produced test batches of a
2X Magnar and a 4X Duonar after the War but finally produced the 2X
Duonar in a mount which had a double bayonet so it would fit on
either Bayonet I or III; this was produced in the early
1950's. Finally, Carl Zeiss, the guys at Oberkochen, produced the
Weitwinkel-Mutar (0.7X) and Tele-Mutar (1.5X) with adapters to enable
them to be used on Bayonet I, both Bayonet II's, and Bayonet IIII,
these coming out in 1963 and continuing in production only for two or
three years, as Franke & Heidecke was concerned that they would cut
into the sales of the Tele-Rollei, the Weitwinkel-Rollei, and the
forthcoming SL66.
