I recently got my hands on a Cone Centralisateur, an older type with the actual black cone on the back. It seems to cover 8x10 quite easily.
I was wondering if there's a catalog listing the different sizes the older cone type (Two knob) lens was available, as I'm having trouble figuring which exact lens it is and it's aperture.
The focal length seems to be about 15 inch, hood diameter is about 11.5cm, the diameter of the mid of the lens is 10cm. Has a knob to lock up the inner barrel, a rack and pinion, central stop etc.
The lens height is about 21cm with the inner tube compacted, extended it ends up being about 24cm.
The lens is from 1863, going by the markings on the glass.
Any idea?
