They have been noted for Coronar lenses on cameras, and probably on enlargers. A series of cameras from C.A. Mueller, Strengenberg, Germany were listed in B.J.A. 1927, p770advert. with Coronar lenses for 6x9cm approx in f6.3, f4.8, f4.5 and there was a program of Coronar f4.5 lenses as separate items.

The Coronar f4.5 This was a recent introduction in 1926 according to Frerk, and was a Q15 type design and suitable for many cameras, and well regarded. It seems to have become a major product, below.
