This arrived today;
I was comfortable in owning every cataloged variation of Velostigmat and when this one showed up on Ebay I bought it out of curiosity. f5.6??
Series II f4.5 is tessar. Series I f6.8 or f6.3 is convertible similar to a Protar. Series III is wide angle. Series IV is cheapo f6.3 dialyt. etc.
This one has no Series no. No focal length given, and f5.6 is outside of the cataloged norm.
So upon inspection it is in lovely shape, and it's a triplet of 11 1/2" focus. Triplet's only cover about 50 degrees so that makes this a full plate size.
Has anyone ever seen this advertised or cataloged?
Ran out of time this week to make images, but I'll pick it up on Friday and see if it casts a spell on me. It's definitely from the period with the finish I love. Gorgeous quality. Oh, and it's small. Flange size is standard #4 like a 9 1/2" f4.5 would be.
Info appreciated. Love a mystery. Love solving it even more. Thanks!
