Mamiya 60mm f/2.8 Macro Lens. Another lens that arrived in two pieces. Seems to be a lot of that going around lately.
This lens I find interesting, not too common and was made in M42 screw mount and also Mamiya ES mount for the XTL camera. I have a personal copy of this lens and really like the image quality (does 1:1 directly with no adapter needed). It was made by Tomioka for Mamiya, I have also seen it in a Yashinon version.
Early versions in M42 mount had a chrome front filter ring, later changed to black. All serial numbers in the versions made for Mamiya have serial numbers 14xxxx. The last photo shows the two versions, older chrome front style on the right and serial number 140002.
