Good afternoon everyone! I have just acquired a new lens and I am trying to find out more about it, its strengths and how best to use it. I haven't mounted it yet as I am awaiting a lens board for my Deardorff.
This is a lens marked:
Ross
No. 48037 15x12 London
Made for W. Stanley
99089
99090
99091
I have been digging around the internet and this is what I believe to have found.
99092
It appears to be an Orthographic lens based on a Petzval design. I believe that it was primarily designed to photograph landscapes and architecture because of its Orthographic design. I have no idea of the speed but I have been told it is approximately f8 without the stops. I could be completely wrong about all of this so feel free to correct me. :confused:
I am planning to use this on both the 5x7 and 8x10 Deardorff and I actually shoot a lot of portraits which is what I want to use this lens for. Does anyone have any additional info on this lens and/or samples of images created with it? I'd love to know as much as psooible.
Thanks in advance!
