RustyBug,
It's a Leica 180 APO 3.4, just as James recommended in a previous post. It's not supposed to be great close up, so I thought I'd test it out. That's about as close as the lens gets. DOF is very thin that close, and focus was on the eyelash reflection in her left eye (eyelash tips are already out of focus with the 180 this close at f/3.4.) The lens is generally understood to be geared to long distance to infinity, as it was developed for the navy (US?).
I understood that it was used for german tankdivision?  It is the Telyt right? In any case this was a mythical lens which was surpassed by the most excellent (and expensive) 180/2.0 if I remember it right.
