Recently I have won Ebay auction on Derogy Rectilinear No. 5 lens.
This is this lens with some specs: http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/derogy-19-inch-estimated-rectilinear-1774676060
Item was described as 19" (480mm) rectilinear lens, f/4, image circle is enough for 12x10 inches (my camera has 18x24cm ground glass). I asked the seller to weigh it, and it is 674 grams weight, what seems to be nonsense for me. Lens with such specs must weigh at least 1Kg.
I haven't found any information on this lens on the web. Absolute vacuum, like Derogy No.5 never existed. Seller seems to be competent and has a lot of good feedback.
Does anyone know anything about this lens? Will it be suitable for wetplate portraiture?
