I think I was incorrect that the lens is from the 30s. I had read that production started then (or thought I'd read) but that seems to be wrong and production started in the 50s. So that's not a Jena serial number on the front ring. Could someone please confirm that? And in which case I don't think it's worth buying as I'll likely lose the coatings.
