Thread: Goertz Lens Information

    Goertz Lens Information

    I wonder if any forum member may be able to point me toward a source of information on the
    classic Goertz lenses, Artars, Apo/Red Dot, and Dagors. Focal lengths manufactured, image circles etc. I have checked through a load of old threads, but nothing really comprehensive.
    Many thanks Colin Myers

    Try searching for "Goerz" instead of "Goertz" and you should turn up more info.

    Colin,

    Chek the speling!

    Try here for the Dagors:

    Also, if you poke around on the usenet (Google Groups) you'll find an extremely comprehensive table for the Artars, although it may take you some time to find it. I have it at home if you want me to e-mail it to you.

    By the way, and I've always wondered about this -- how does one pronounce "Goerz." And is it DA-gor or da-GOR . Thanks.

    Ben - put your ear close to the screen so you can hear. ;-)

    But, here's a stab at describing the pronunciation. The "z" on Goerz is more like a "tz" or "ts" sound, and the "oe" is like the e in "Gertie" with "o" sprinkles - the "o" is almost, but not quite silent. Dagor is like DAH-gore.

    Thanks, Ralph. I was pretty close on "Goerz," but I was off on "Dagor." I've always said "dah-GOR."

    I found scans of a 1913 Goerz catalogue here:

    Unfortunately, the scans are a bit small, but all the information is there.

    Jason . Very many thanks for the lead to the Goerz catalogue. I have spent a thoroughly enjoyable half hour downloading the sheets. What an interesting site and how generous in this day and age, for Seth to make so much information available, free! Colin
