Lenses for Paxette

These are my collection of the Paxette lenses.  They are not the top notched lenses but they are dust cheap so it is a kind of fun to collect those lenses for mirrorless camera.   Indeed, the one from Schneider Xenar 2.8/50 is exceptional good as it had been used on Kodak Retina Camera and it was made of chromed brass.  Other lenses are made of "High Tech" aluminum.   The mounts of those lenses are the non-standard M39 and 15mm shorter than M39/LTM.  It means you need to have a 15mm extension tube to get the focus correctly on standard M39 M mount.  There are still several Paxette lenses I don't have.
