Butthole! Just joking, very nice lenses. I am jealous of the Gasc. C.

Are the brass lenscaps original? Or are they your make?

Hello from France : Superb(e) !
Another French manufacturer of brass lenses was Lerebours & Secretan

Ya know, even though I don't own a single coveted old brass lens, nor a means of mounting one on any of my cameras, it makes me feel good to know so many of them are still out there and being used. (It makes me crazy there are collectors out there that just accumulate brass for the sake of owning a bunch of old lenses, but that's life.) Use them well!

I'll take my old, beat-up Rapid Rectilinear and go home now.

Beautiful! Beautiful. You need a Derogy Puyo Anachromatique in that line up. Looks like organ pipes.
