Auzoux Rectiligne No3 No11,653. Requires Waterhouse Stops.
I have e-mailed seller for detailed information & images of the lens. No idea of focal length. S' probably going to be f8 or therabouts
I don't know much about the maker. A on-line text-only version of the VM doesnt have much to say of the company. There were three incarnations: Auzoux & Co Auzoux et Francais then Francais. I dunno when they started or ended making lenses.
If they had a short life it suggests they were not successful. Googling the name Auzoux has brought up another person? The same surname but they were a notable maker of anatomical & botanical models, not lenses.
