Interesting lens--I saw the MTF--very good but not super.  I don't know how it 
compared with other lenses from early 50's. 
Appears to be a "reverse Tessar" design with the cemented doublet in front.  
(should be 4 elements in 3 groups-- rear doublet ). Nice and compact and has 16 
aperture blades.
Suspect if made today with new glass and degrees of freedom available, could be 
very very  sharp indeed. Still a  very nice rendering and should have excellent 
bokeh under many conditions.
The lens or you didn't seem to mind the heat given the nice image of the 
visitors to your great feeder.  The Buddleia still looks a tad oversaturated 
with some loss of detail  on this mediocre monitor at work.  Don't have my 
tools here to see if a channel is clipped
or perhaps it is the  monitor.  Thanks for getting the interesting  old girl 
out for some exercise and posting the results. Deserving of more use, I think.

Some like it hot, Mike
