An old German 135mm.

Pentacon 135mm But I do think that might just be the meyer lens.

from the looks of it I'd say it would for sure be a f2.8 or wider lens with 15 or so Aperture Blades.

I agree!

What ever it is, it is either wide open or a preset with round aperture. Likely wide open due to the OUt of Focus circle size

Did Monet own it?

Found at a flea market for $5., like new including the leather case. Nice on it's own and very sharp from 4.5 but when I added
an old Aux tele lens on the front that is what happens to the background. Only with
this particular lens, tried with a lot of others but no luck.

I'll give you $10 for it! That's a 100% return!

For this kind of killer score and interesting effect, I think you owe us a bunch more pictures!

The tele adapter is called " ESCOT SER VI " Think it is a 1.5 but nothing marked on it to say. One of those
junk box finds, usually I remove the glass and use them as lens hoods.
Glad I kept this one alive.

One person's junk; another person's treasure.

What a lovely find you have there.

it's almost a watercolor through that lense....

It bothers me that nothing is really sharp in either of the pic posted. I LOVE the bokeh, but worry about the sharpness.
