Hi all !
I'm new on this forum... i have not found a "presentation thread" then i hope all is ok.
I'm not a Large Format Photography specialist at all but i've found some things that may interest you here. I'm looking informations about these things :
Could you tell me what is it exactly ? I've found some information on the internets but you here seems to be specialists !
What i can say is that the number is 16 775. More, on one lens, there is written Derogy Lens 1902 but difficult to make a good picture of it as it seems to be written with pencil.
Thanks a lot for your help,
Craig
A serial number of 16,775 suggests it was made in the early 1870’s. By 1902, Derogy was up to around 30,000! Derogy was not good about writing production dates on lenses. I suggest it was written there by someone servicing the lens in 1902 - perhaps regluing the lens.
Size no. 3 should be a rectiliinear (aplanat) covering 13x18cm with a focal length of 22cm and a lens diameter of 33mm.
The other lens is a more modern version of the Aplanat- with a multi-leaved Iris.
OK thanks a lot for your reply ! Very Interesting...
Nice one I guess: nr. 11671 (I'm not the buyer)

Not many Derogys get sold because of speculative BIN prices on that site. This one was a very welcome auction and gave an idea of the realistic level for Petzvals. The item gives a good impression, but no information about what is inside.
I have found another 60,000 Derogy - just a few numbers away from one I had already.
