Hi All
After a week of searching and reading I still cannot find the answer to my question: Is there any major optical difference between No 2A and No 1AA of this B&L magic lantern lens made for Edison Manuf. Co. similar to this photo? As usual I"ll be delighted to share your knowledge.
Regards
Pierre Salomon

You are about to be moved to the lens sub-forum by someone who decides these things.

Unless someone has a big collection of these or old internal documents from B & L, I fear an answer will not be forthcoming.
Usually, the numbers with one two or three "As" are intermediate sizes between 1 and 2, 2 and 3 etc. But B&L might be different.
