Omg! Apparently Zeiss Jena was experimenting with some serious glass back in WW2.
I found a pic here, apparently the us troops brought a 90mm f/1.0, 250mm f/1.0 and this
400mm f/1.5 from Jena Germany for closer inspection to the states before the russions took over the Jena
factory. Unfortunately I couldn't find out what happened with the design later on.
It's fun to browse through some other extreme lenses as well here.
Anyways, I thought that was pretty interesting.
