That lens is multicoated as it looks like (will post some lens pictures later) and produces well saturated images right out of the cam (my Lumix GH1 that is). This heavy and well made relatively small lens (f1.0 at 38mm is impressive to me) was made 1954, as read from the serial number which also indicates the real maker being Bausch & Lomb. It was sold under the name of "Carl Meyer" by Burke & James Photographic Co of Chicago. There are indications, that it might be a Plasmat type lens design, which Dr Paul Rudolph had developed many years before, being one of the first high speed lens designs (Kino Plasmat 1926 with f1.5, the fastest lens for that time)
I have not yet done detailed testing Jones, more later...
