I made trade for this petzval lens, condition is superb, glass is outstanding with no baslam separation or scratch. But I can not identify who was the maker of this beautiful petzval with rack and double pinion, what is the f/stop (front lens diameter is 42mm, rear 47mm), coverage and what was it made for (projection, portrait)?
There only writing is on the front ring lens, and this is all I can read:
Omin II, Serie I (or L, D?) F=300mm No. 2056
Hope someone can help with identification becouse I could not find info about this lens. I made quick pics but the lens looks much better than on the photos.
I wonder if to sell it (it does not fit to my Bergheil 9x12 lensboard) or is it worth to buy for it a Speed Graflex 4x5...
