An early attempt at reverse engineering a lens? Or maybe just a teaching tool.

I believe that real "factory prepared" 1/2 objectives do exist as a sales display item - but this one has both bad workmanship and bogus glass, I think. Perhaps part of a (failed) patent application for eaumaison stops? Or someone who has misunderstood some cleaning instructions posted here?

Perhaps a previous owner told his wife he was going to divorce her and this happened after she had attacked his wardrobe...

I wonder where each half of the camera is....

nn :)

Had something similar happen to me many moons ago...

The Seller is giving up LF as s/he couldn't work out where the light leak was coming from...

New bellows, new holders and still no luck!

As per the used lens seller mantra: "won't effect image quality!"

I kinda think it must have been Joel-Peter Witkin's lens.

Actually these 1/2 objectives seem to have been very popular. But not as popular 3/4 objectives.
