So I think I finally got lucky and found an old projector with a B&L Petzval on it. I bought the projector/magic lantern just for the lens, but is there any value in the projector? I feel bad throwing out the projector, but I can't keep this thing lying around and doubt anyone wants an old projector without a lens.
I'd like to find out more about it, so if anyone has any information and feels like sharing, I'd be grateful. So far my Googling has revealed that it is likely a 12in (300mm) lens and my measurements seems to confirm this. Given the width of the lens (60mm), that makes it about an f5 lens, correct?. I mounted it on my camera and it seems to cover a 5x7. Does anyone know what the age of the lens might be?
Thanks,
