I got a few lenses today for a "job lot" price and one of them is a bit of a curiosity to me.
It is marked as a Century Plan [something -- cannot read] I think it is Panatic and underneath that is Series 111
On the shutter face is Rauber and Wollensak and below that Centurry Camera co.
It is marked as covering 6-1/2 x 8-1/2 with the two lens elements on the shutter but each element is marked 23" [front] and 17" [rear]
Does anyone know the focal length of the two elements combined and perhaps an aperure?
The glass is amazingly clean.
The aperture scale goes from 4 to 512.
The shutter nearly works.
