Is anyone familiar with the following two lenses ( the front of each each lens r eads):
F-13cm f:12.5 Jos. Schnieder & Co Kreuznach Weitwinkel Anastigmat Dasykar + F-18cm f:12.5 Jos. Schnieder & Co Kreuznach Weitwinkel Anastigmat Dasykar
the apertures on both go from f/12.5 to f/50.
the 13cm seems to easily cover an 8x10 and the 18cm an 11x14 format when stopped down. From an older VIEWCAMERA article, they seem to resemble Series VI Protars by the description and coverage.
The seller of the lenses told me that "Sometime in the early thirties these lens es were replaced by the Angulon"
Does anyone know anything else about these optics? I would be especially interes ted in anyone who has used wither of these optics in the field. My intention is to use them for B&W contact print work only - with 8x10 and 11x14 formats.
Thanks,
Greg
