starting a new series on the tick-mark lenses

unfortunately, i forgot to take notes for the 10.5/2.5

Nice write up of this old lens. Tick-mark lenses are rare, the 3.5cm lens is the least common since it was difficult to mass produce, and ones marked in m are the rarest!

I have a tick-mark 10.5cm (cheap on ebay - seller didn't know what it was  ) but it does not need servicing

do send it to me if ever it does but I hope it wont need to be relubed 

how much did you get it for if I may ask?

i got the 13.5/3.5tm for $20 (with hood)

My 10.5cm tick mark was $85 USD in 2012, so a lot more than yours, but a lot less than the going rate.
I got it just a month after I found a 5cm tick mark on ebay the same way, that one was only $66.55 USD
Both are in decent shape, seem to be fine mechanically, but looking a little worn.

funny how i can acquire a collection while neglecting the fact that i need dentures...priorities
