Okay, that sounds good. This heavy lens should be just living in a studio, so I think there should be no problem with that, thanks :)

Will Re-Glueing solve this problem? I mean if I seperate, clean and re glue them with canada balsam. Or will it happen after that again?

Maybe. What do you exactly mean by "beginning" seperation? Could it be more worse in the end?
I don´t know anything about seperation at this moment. Is it fixable, will it progress?

Oh that would be so "nice" :)

Yes it is actually a german lens. A Hugo Meyer Görlitz Doppel Plasmat. So you really don´t believe it´s some sort of fungus?

My biggest anxiety was, that it would...

I don´t know... Maybe I´m not able to read this list. Can you tell me what you think is the right one or the focal length I´m searching?

I´m not sure... Cannot find it there

Hello guys, I just bought a Voigtländer Petzval. Maybe it´s a 3B because the glass diameter is 2 inches.

What do you mean by "it will take about 3 weeks to dissolved the old balsam" ?

I´m searching for a Voigtländer Lens Catalogue especially for older Petzval types. Not just those with a focussing rack. There was also some older Petzval types without them. Thanks

My measures say that the lens must be approximately 440mm f 6.5

Thanks for all of your answers, I will test the lens when it arrives, so I could tell you the exact focal length and aperture :)

The lens will arrive at my place next week... Then I could check it :)
Where´s the difference?

Hello Community, I just bought this beautiful Voigtländer brass lens, but I cannot find any exact info about it.

My Voigtländer lenses are newer in serial number.

The lens is 12cm...

Thanks Erian, I thougt it would be this way, then everything would be okay :)

No, sadly it wasn´t me :(

But I would say I pray to god my Voigtländer does the same job, because it also looks better :D

Tha´t´s really a good explanation, thank you for your time, that was very helpful :)

But I´m still confused because I can see a full image on my...

Okay, now I understand

Thank you for your answer. Then I would say I could have some fun with my Voigtländer for 16x20 portraits :)

I don´t understand well, you said it covered 16x20 with head and shoulders. But why not 14x17 for head and shoulders? 14x17 is smaller than 16x20?

I´m sorry... maybe I´m to dumb to understand this, or I need more time :/

There is a Goerz 500 4.5 for sale right now... should I buy this one instead of my Voigtländer No 6 ? Because I liked how...

Did you ever tried your Voigtländer lens in bigger formats than 11x14? :)

So If I understand you correctly, my Voigtländer lens could cover 16x20 with a little less sharp corners?

There is a american guy names Giles Glement who uses a Goerz 500mm 4.5 Dogmar lens. This...

Okay, do you have more information about both lenses?

So longer focal length doesn´t mean more Coverage...

Thanks a lot, I would say my maximum Coverage should be 16x20, this is my largest camera.

Sometimes people say that those Catalogues doesn´t tell the real world Coverage. They say that the lenses can go higher in coverage. That´s why I asked.

I opened a new Thread with a question about...

Thank you, that clears everything up :)

Thanks for your great answer :)
Do you mean I could use the 19 inch on a 16x20 camera even wide open in landscape? or just portrait?

On the other hand I would be happy if you could give me a...

Maybe you can take a look at my pictures, to check if the lens looks like your one :)

Thanks for the tip :)
But do you know if it is really usable on 20x24 inch? This would be so great, because then I would have a wide angle.
