135/2.8 Steinheil Auto-Quinar for Exakta

The 135/2./8 Steinheil Auto Quinar with automatic diaphragm

Steinheil was another German lens manufacturer who produced lenses for a variety of cameras. They were not as highly regarded as Zeiss or Schneider, and were available in focal lengths from 35 to 200mm. They were relative latecomers to the Exakta market, not marketing any in that mount until about 1955.
