... das selbe wie die mitgelieferten Blenden bei den Meyer-Linsen, passt optisch gut, wirkt aber nur begrenzt.

Die SEHR GEEHRTEN Kollegen, in Deutschland kann jemand in welcher Stadt erklären und auf welchem Unternehmen das vorliegende Objektiv erzeugt wurde?
Mit freundlichen Grüßen Sergej.

Yours faithfully Sergey.

Hi Sergej,

this lens was made by Piesker. It was a small lens manufacturer, founded by Paul Piesker, and was located in Berlin (it's old postal code was SW. 68, so it must have been located in Kreuzberg). They continued to produce some lenses after the war in West Berlin right into the 60's but the company ceased to exist.

SW 68 > Kreuzberg

Danke für die Meinung. Über Paul Piesker wie den Gründer der Gesellschaft begegnete ich die Version schon.
Jedoch gibt es die Meinung dass es nicht der Produzent, und die Gesellschaft sich beschäftigend mit dem Import der Phototechnik in den USA.
Es ist kompliziert, vorzustellen, dass in der zerstörten Stadt durch solche kurze Zeit ohne Teilnahme der Militärverwaltung die Produktion wieder hergestellt haben. Und es ist schon ganz unglaublich, diese Bildung des Neuen.
Ich werde für beliebige zusätzliche Informationen sehr dankbar sein.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen Sergej.

Thanks for opinion. As the founder of the company I already met the version about Paul Piesker.
However, there is an opinion that it not the producer, and the company which was engaged in import of photoequipment to the USA.
It is difficult to present that in the destroyed city through such short time without participation of military authorities restored production. And it is already absolutely improbable, this creation of the new.
I will be very grateful for any additional information.
Yours faithfully Sergey.

There were at least two other Berlin-based optics companies after the war - Astro Berlin, TEWE... - which managed to resume the production, so it seems it was not that improbable, at least in the 3 West sectors.
As a small manufacturer, probably just a larger tooling workshop with a design bureau attached, they could be sourcing their glass lenses ans elements from larger manufacturers (even from Soviet occupied territory) and simply put them together in their own lens barrels. The Piesker designs weren't that complicated either - mainly triplets and later some 4-lens-designs.
