Does anyone know what lens this is? Seems to be unmarked. Its for sale with a camera that looks to be a 5x7.

The listing has no info on what size or type of lens or camera it is. Thinking I might buy the camera if the lens is of good quality. Looks like it needs a cleaning maybe more.

I think its mounted on a busted shutter, but the camera has a packard that I could use.

Here are the photos.

Someone might recognise the remains of the shutter (approximate date?). The iris has been removed too.

The difference in thickness of the two cells might indicate that it's a triplet. Or maybe not.

Last night during all my searching it started to look like to look like an old russian lens. Could be wrong. I think it might be an industar.

Maybe?

Can you measure the threads? Any Industar I've ever seen had metric (usually M0,75) threads.

I just bought it. It was on ebay. $175.

Came with a Keith Camera and a working Packard Shutter. The lens ended up being a 8x10 Bausch and Lomb Planatograph.

From what I have found so far it is a rapid rectilinear lens. Don't know much more than that yet. I do know it isn't worth too much, but I think with the packard and the camera, I got a decent deal.

Anyone on here know anything about it? Will try the search option now.

I have an 8x10 Planatograph in a Rochester Optical shutter. It is an RR type, around 12" FL, and when I researched it, info was very scarce. I paid around $100 for mine (at auction, so at least one other person wanted to pay that much for it) around a year and a half ago.

Thats good.. I was beginning to regret my purchase. Haven't found anything about the lens online yet.

I really want an 8x10 lens kit and don't have too much cash, so am buying all the cheap ones I can find.

Now I wish I could rename the thread "looking for info on the 8x10 Planatograph"
