These lens cells are branded 'Orbit' but I guarantee you they are Schneider Symmar 210mm f5.6.
They are in very nice condition, just waiting for a copal #1 shutter.
I am offering these at a rock-bottom price of $30 shipped in the US.

Actually they are probably Symmar-S. I've got a couple of these (240 & 300) and you can see where the Orbit brand was printed over the Caltar brand. I'm guessing Calumet decided to sell them in sets with the Orbit camera and relabelled them to match.

Yes, these are not the older convertible style, these are the new S style. I'm not sure if they are multicoated or not.
