[agustin.gd]

Hello, everybody.

I got this giant lens some time ago, and I got to use it only 2 times, at home on my, through some weird system.

I had to set the lens on the table, and then put some cardboard tube as an extension...and cover the holes for leaks...weirdly enough, it kind of worked.

Im waiting a bit, because im moving to another country, but the plan is to build a 14x17. I already have made the bellows.

Anyone with more information about this lens?

I have found very few examples online, which were made with a digital camera.

Should I wait a bit, should I sell it?

Thanks in advance for any kind of information.

Have a great day !!!



This is the only kind of OK example I got from it, of course because I didn't have the proper way to handle the lens. (example not edited and taken with x-ray film.)

Looks like you have a lens from a Liesegang opaque projector.

Yes, thanks. I have seen some photos. And I have cleaned the lens and all.

Im just looking for some more examples, and maybe opinion about it.

I have quite the few lenses, and I really don't know if I should keep it or not.

Make a lens board

Determine good image diameter

I would chuck it up in my 11X14 studio camera and shoot a few more X-Ray

Mine 450 f3.6 Beseler-France came from a projector, it has a diameter og 138mm.
To look for pictures go to flickr.com and search for (Leitz) Epis, Liesegang on 8x10 and 11x14.
