Hi Folks
I was wondering just how many of these buggers were produced. I looked all over the web & even gave Jim @ Mid-West ( nice fellow )a call to see if he had any idea.
I picked up a 5x7 seneca view off of Cr. Li. . I was blown away to discover a Karl Struss Pictorial lens in the camera case. The seller informed me that the lens was included & then went on to tell say "you can just through this piece of junk out or make something out of the tube. "If you like, I'll be happy to through it in my scrap aluminum pile" .
The lens is a beauty it appears to be a 12". naked aluminum barrel Perfect glass Stops between f 5.5-22.
Any info on # made, how many years. I made a few Polaroids w/ this gem & man what a blast & I would like to hear from others who have made images w/ the help of a Struss lens.
I'll take my answer off the air.
Peace to all
