get a rubber wrench or better yet, two.
shooting those lenses at f/8 and more is killing the soft focus effect and their character. you could shoot any other lens and the result would be very similar.
shoot them wide open or at +1 stop...
very interesting! i've never heard of a 200/2.7, but i've seen a couple of 180/2.7. there have been bigger sizes of course, like 240/1.8...

NAMIAS ANACHROMAT DOUBLE LENS 1:5 F=40 ORTHO AESCULIN ( 284790129016 ) - in not well preserved condition and imo incomplete = EUR 2.560, wow.
custom work is too expensive. imo there must have been some mass produced adapters ?
Hi all,
i have some lens cells that fit a Copal 3s but have only Copal 3 size shutters. Who makes adapter rings for Copal 3s to Copal 3 conversion, except Grimes perhaps ?
I'm unable to find...

don't really know why i'm...
you should ask yourself why this is there in the first place and do you really want to remove it and find out ? perhaps the underlying brass barrel is/was broken and repaired with this crude piece of...
coating issue, caused by ageing and some environmental factors like humidity perhaps. no fungus involved here.
what you have is a Series I Nr.6, 306 mm F3.16, made on 10.11.1897
as for value you'll have to do your own research
wow, this is so much better than the sieve thingies !

Miguel, the "glowing halo effect" depends also very much on lightning.
another source you should study is http://tonopahpictures.0catch.com/ lots of great samples with different sf lenses.
Miguel, i think you're looking for a soft focus lens. from your list only the Wollensak Verito will give you the desired result. read about soft focus lenses as Steven suggested and then start...
Steven, the paragraph you think is about "adjusting for chemical focussing" is actually about the price charged for the modification of old lenses (exchange of glass i would presume). "berechnet"...

here is my old thread about the same logo http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?126806-Lens-manufacturer-id

seems Lerebours is the new hype...
what do you mean with failed, Pierre ?
a 19" f4 Petzval lens is at least 2-3 times bigger than that, so this can't be.
to me it looks like you've got a lens with two rear elements (just as Steven noticed already). this explains the soft...
it is as simple as just tightening it, don't worry. the spacing between the elements is critical, but your shutter (or barrel) takes care of that already.
forgot to mention that it is most probably french.
would appreciate any input !
measured FL is 220mm, it is F5 and pretty sharp. A sample can be seen here
Hello,
please help with the ID of following lens -

here is a recent sale of the same lens at Breker auction https://new.liveauctioneers.com/item/47551077_petzval-type-portrait-lens-by-charles-shepherd-c-1856
buyers premium was 24.3% for this auction.
and another strange (low) price for a big-ish Petzval - Dallmeyer 3A = 1360 EUR (262622811554)
re: the currently auctioned Pinkham - imo it is a fake, old or new
re: Petzval lens sales - all i can say is, the market is strange and very elastic
from today - Dallmeyer 4B in sad condition...

Jim, then you know what yours is, Millet is a well known french manufacturer.
we have a winner - Steven as always ;)

thanks !
it's Ernostar, not Ernomann ;)

Thank you, DrTang !
Greetings !
i have a no name Petzval with a pencil signature "WH" on both front and rear lenses. has anyone seen this signature and know the manufacturer ?
whole plate is not 8x10".
and yes, you're right, it will cover more at portrait distances. but it will still be too wide for a good portrait perspective on 8x10".
thanks a lot, Dan !
