so i bought my first old brass lens recently, and it arrived today. i have yet to use it, as i've got to mount it first. certainly going to be easier to mount than my homemades, what with the flange and screw holes. piece o cake!
so what is it? seller said no markings except a distance scale, and he was right. it's just an inner and outer tube, with a single lens up front. i see three reflections, so i'm guessing it's an achromat...darn. basically an overbuilt landscape lens.
focal length is about 520mm, which would be impossible to use on my toyo 4x5 if it weren't for the giant proboscis of a tube extension the thing has. no vignetting apparent for this format, but i can't check movements etc. going to be about f/16 or so wide open.
so..what is it? anyone know?
here's the ebay link for some pictures.
