A question for the experts..
I have this beautiful petzval lens.
A bit of a mystery lens..
It is clearly marked “W. Hermann” Berlin.
I have had no luck finding out anything about this guy…
But then I looked closely on the glass, and on one of the back glass a very clear writing says “Berthiot”.
A French maker as far as I know.
So could the lens be a rebranded “Berthier” lens, and Hermann “just” a retailer?
Curious to know.
(Ca 350mm F4,5)
(scared lighter for size..)
