LUGnuts,
Was just visiting friend who is optical engineer and who began
appreticeship at Leitz in Wetzlar many years ago.  You should see (hear)
his polka collection which he sings along with while making magic on his
milling machines.  

Anyway, he recently came into possession of a 40-400 f/4-f/8 zoom made
by Angienieux (sp?).  He machined a Leica mount, put it on his R3 and
says it works fine.  Had no idea how much it is worth.  He thinks it
came from an aerial camera.

Any ideas?
