I would like to use this Exakta VX500, there is no lens information except for serial number? Is the ring with identifying info missing from front? Appears to be a 50mm2:8? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
 
Can you post pictures of it?

Looks like a Meyer Domiplan 50/2.8 with missing name ring.
 
Thank you, is that a Zeiss type lens and the missing ring should not affect quality?
 
Meyer and Zeiss were two different companies. It might be a copy of a Zeiss design -- I don't know.

The missing ring should have no effect per se but it might indicate that the lens has been worked on.
 
Yes it does focus. I look forward to shooting a test roll. Thank you for the links and info.
