Dallmayer Carfac

[Jim Andrada]

I picked one of these little lenses up from a forum member and would like to find out more about it. I've tried it out on my 5 x 7 and it's quite nice. Anyone know anything about the lens, it's history, technical info etc? I've found a bit of info here and there but not much.

Efke 25, Agfa-Ansco 5 x 7, exposure by guess. Scanned on an IQsmart 2 and messed about with in Photoshop. There was a light breeze and the flowers were moving a little.

Thanks

Is everybody stumped?;)

The Carfac is a revised (cheapened) version of the Dallmeyer Stigmatic. See Dan Fromm's post here:

Thanks. There's not much written about them. Regardless of it being "cheapened" I quite like it!
