Pinkham Smith experts..is this lens a SA series III?

[Bisbee233]

Is this an elusive SA Doublet series III?

Its only markings are "P&S SA Doublet" on one side of the barrel and "61/2 x 81/2- 14" Serial#1021"

Its in a #4 studio shutter with a max aperture marked f4.5

Focal length and full plate designation are right for a Series III

Hard to tell if there are two lenses in it though ...

[Bisbee233]

Thanks for the response Rudi.

Here are a couple a photos showing the front and rear glass.

BTW...the old tape label on it reads "When using soft focus lens go to 50 watt seconds"

[Bisbee233]

Yes...might be a little much I admit


Im going to just auction it...starting at $1 so we'll see

Is there a chance I'm seeing color in the lens images because of anti-reflective coating? Is the glass pink - ish?

[Bisbee233]

It doesnt look coated to me. Could be but I dont think so.

I had one that B&J had coated and that was easy to spot.

I think you might just be seeing some sort of reflection or color cast from a nearby object..maybe my shirt.
