Anyone have experience with a Rodenstock Monar F3.5 Petzval design lens?
I just picked up one and no time to mount it for a couple weeks because I am out traveling.
I searched around and could not find any photos that anyone has posted so it has me wondering if this is an odd ball lens or something. I thought it would make a great wet plate lens because of the speed and the design.
If you know anything about the lens or know of a link to some photos, I would appreciate the info.
The one I picked up has an air spaced pair in the back, cemented pair in front. The focal length is 7" which I verified.
Thanks
Tim
