Smallest Brass Lens

[CCHarrison]

We have seen some monster brass lenses over the past few weeks. Currently, there's a huge Voigtlander Petzval on ebay measuring over 14 inches tall !

But how about your smallest LF lens ?

You can read about a very small brass lens I own on my most recent blog post: http://antiquecameras.net/blog.html

Best,

Cool.

I have a very small Zeiss wide angle (100mm!)

Here's a tiny Horne and Thorthwait petzval, 50mm if I recall. I also have and even smaller Dallmeyer Petzval that is 25mm! If I did the ubiquitous picture of it with a roll of 35mm film, the film would tower over the lens, instead of vice-versa!

It's certainly not large format, but here's my smallest Dallmeyer Petzval, 1" focal length.

And here's a shot I just took with it. Yes, we got snow last night in Arizona too!
