Hallo Friends,
i’m new here and some one intelligent (Homo sapiens)
has delete my post.
“I just band the rule and do not break the rules!”

so again;

I’ looking for a huge real large format
Dallmeyer RR 30x20 of 34x34.
Can someone help me?

It's hard to find the old vintage look on a glass,
that has an image circle of 30inch
and resembles a Petzval.

I only know the Dallmeyer RR,
that creates.

Can someone help me?

Kind regards for all

What focal length do you look for? Do you need a lens in a shutter ? Multicoated, single coated, high quality glass or lower quality glass.

I can insert link to my bokeh test of diverse glass if you wish.

A lot of us are looking for that lens. Sounds like what you actually need is a Wollaston meniscus (https://www.re-inventedphotoequip.com/Home.html).

Hi guys, thank you a lot to find someone how share this passion!
I ask all of us if some one have idea how to create a pictorialist image in size 30x30?
I own 630mm Petvals, the real input is real for max. 14x17.
My question is with witch glass do I cover 30x30 pictorial images?
It must be a 1000mm Patzval, right?

thanks you !!!

I have asked some specialists and they told me that the Dallmeyer RR how cover 30x20 is not more worth today (2021)
than 2000 USD. That sounds not realistic because Dallmeyer has produced only two of that glasses in al history.

There are very few antique brass lenses that cover this format, they are many thousands of dollars ($6-8-10K +) if you are lucky enough to find one, they are in museums and a few private collections. The only practical way I know of to take pictorialist ULF images is with the Wollaston Meniscus lenses I linked to above, or you can manufacture your own since the parts are all readily available.

If your 30x30" camera has a bellows at least 1.5m to 2m long, why don't you put the front element of your 630mm Petzval lens and take a look at the ground glass? You will be surprised.

I bought one of the first 790mm Wollstan f5.4 https://www.re-inventedphotoequip.com/Formats.html

Mine not for sale, it is big and light, needs 8" lensboard

Yes, thank you Hugo! I really have to work more with the petzval glass. The front element works miracles! But the RR lenses in huge size balanced that incredible look between in-output quality very harmonious.
