Eric,
I have used at least two cameras with the 47mm f2.0 Ektar. The Kodak Bantam Special and the Kardon. 

Both produced slides that were sensational.

FWIW, this lens was the first to bear the name Ektar. It was designed in 1936 for the Kodak Bantam Special. I think it may also have been the first Kodak lens to have a rare-earth glass element. I don't know if it was the same lens supplied for the Kardan camera but it seems reasonable. I think the patent for this lens may be in LensView, I will have to look. Its difficult to be sure any particular lens patent is for a production lens but sometimes you can tell pretty well. The patent would tell what kind of glasses were used.
