                                    I think that is right about the C44 and C44r, and I have Enna lens that
                                    was made for the Braun Paxette line as well. I have a Enna-Werk Munchen 
                                    Tele-Ennalyt 1:3.5 F-13.5  ( Red C ) Nr. 2635546. This lens produces pretty
                                    fair results and the construction is turned aluminum with a polished finish
                                    that is very good quality.
                                    
                                    Regards,

                                    I may be wrong, but I seem to recall this firm as also being the source of
                                    the interchangable lenses furnished for the Argus C44 & C44R models.

                                    They were a relatively small optical concern in Germany which produced some
                                    relatively fine lenses, given their small size.  They produced a range of
                                    lenses for the Corfield cameras and for the later Argus cameras.  
                                    
                                    They DID make the 1.5/85 Lithagon which I used to own but, stupidly, sold.
