Hello All,
I purchased this wonderful little lens today and would like to learn more about it.
On the brass rim it says-
The Scientific Lens Co.
Extr W.A. Anastigmat No.5
With front and rear glass in place it measures about a 8-9 inch focal length and with either the rear or front element removed it has an amazing 22 inch focal length.
How can I tell what size film the lens will cover?
I assume that if it is an extra W.A. lens and the focal length is 8-9 inches it is made for at least an 8x10 camera?
Any info would be a great help.
