    Need Help Identifying a Large Darlot Lens

    Hey guys,

    I purchased a Darlot lens last month. I was expecting it to be tie size of my fist, but ended up being the size of my child.

    This lens is HUGE, it measures roughly 15in tall and the rear element is about 7in wide.

    Does anyone know what type of Darlot lens this is?

    Can someone recommend a place to get this lens serviced and cleaned?


    thank you!

    This lens is a Jamin cone centralisateur lens. Your lens seems awesome and is rare in such a big size!
    Search by Jamin cone centralisateur in this lens forum.
    l’m looking for one in a long focal length 400mm or longer too.

    It’s easy to disassemble and clean each element of this petzval lens by yourself.

    It's a Petzval type lens. It's easy to disassemble for cleaning if all the threads are fine.
