Copal E-35 8.5 cm f/5.6
While I'm fairly familar with the (Tomioka-made) Copal-E36 series, I was quite surprised to find out there's also a Copal-E35 lens. Given that its focal length is given in cm and it seems like a significantly simpler design overall (most likely a Triplet), I think it's older than the Copal E36 series. Because of its significantly different appearance, I'm also inclined to believe that it was probably not made by Tomioka, but I can't rule it out as well.
I wasn't able to find any record of this lens unfortunately, so if you happen to know anything about it, I would really appreciate it, if you could let me know! Thanks a lot.
