Hi, I was very fortunate to recently acquire an Eastman No. 2 8x10 camera. It came with a lens and I was hoping to get some direction on exactly what the lens is. I did find some threads on Vinco, but the thread is fairly old and I am hopeful we know more now.
On the outside of the lens it says AUTEX and below it, it says PAT. Feb. 6, 1900. Around the edge of the lack part right by the lens it says, F 6 8. No. 107529 focus l n.l Wollensak Vinco-anastigmat.
I was digging around at Camera Eccentric trying to find it in a catalog for more info. From what I can tell this lens was probably made around 1913 or after but I am not sure that is right.
Any info, tips, pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thanks
Tim
