Image request: anyone got images from Wolly 19" lens?

[Mark Sawyer]

It's called Velostigmat Process lens 19".

Oh well, I guess I still have the only 19.5-inch Velostigmat Series II I know of...

Life could be worse!

Not so sure that's true Mark. About having the only 19.5 Series II not the Life being worse part

[Mark Sawyer]

You have one too, Louis? We could start a club!

Yes I do Mark and it would seem to be a small club w/ gentlemen and scholars for members

[Mark Sawyer]

Indeed, a quite exclusive club, only for those with the most sophisticated taste!

Ugh, forgot to take a quick pic of the lens, thought I had one on my phone. I'll do it tonight.

Also, yes it is 8x10 and I can extend it pretty good. It's a Kodak Master View.

$h!t Now I want one. I've had a few 6.3's come and go over the years.

A 19" process lens is NOT a large lens. It should fit in a #4 Betax shutter.

Has the aperture of this lens in question been posted yet? Several years ago I had a 19 or 19.5 inch (can't remember) Velostigmat Series II that I think was f/11. Got it off ebay and sold it here on the forum. I think I shot only a few images with it - this on 8X10.

Couldn't be the Series II, those were all f/4.5. including the 19.5-inch.

Sorry, Jim. Until you get one, you can't come in our clubhouse. You'll have to stand outside and peek through the window.

Wonderful lenses; when I trip the studio shutter on mine, it emits the faint smell of roses, and you can almost hear the fluttering of fairy wings in the distance...

Mine must have been just a Velostigmat then. My gosh, this thing must be huge...? My B&L 11X14 1C is f/4.5 and it weighs 6lbs dry.
