Is there a reason for petzval lenses to be oriented this way?
The last three petzval type lenses I have come across have been backwards?....Each lens had the cemented pair in the rear, and the two singles with the air space mounted up front with the hood...
All three were in rough condition, 'stored for years' lenses....all from different locations...and did not appear to be handled beyond packing and shipping....certainly not used in quite some time...
Why is this so? Is there a reason or just a fluke?
Thanks again,
Dan King
