Hi,
I got lucky ( I think) on eBay and won this brass lens pretty cheaply.
Brass is pretty worn, glass has some dust , cleaning marks and a few light scratches.
Some of the black paint inside is flaking off, and the aperture blades are missing.
No flange.
It was under-described as "old brass lens, doublet anastigmat". Further examination revealed the maker.
A search revealed that there is an optician still in business in Aarhus, Denmark named Paludan Optik.
I am going to try this lens wide open ( no choice there) on my 4x5 Speed Graphic and see what I come up with.
Searching here shows it to be a dialyte, NOT a Dagor :)
Does anybody have any more info about this lens and/or maker, and what kind of results should I expect from a wide-open dialyte?
Thanks,
Dugan
