I have a lens here that has these inscriptions:
Hugo Meyer & Co - Goerlitz N° 298358
Atelier-Schnellarbeiter 1:3 F=270mm
Aperture is working smoothly. This lens has about 21 aperture blades (it's not easy to not loose count, so I'm not 100% sure; it might be 20, it might be 22), forming a near perfect circle.
The glass looks quite good; it's not perfect: there are some specs of dust, etc .. but nothing dramatic.
I never used the lens myself: it's too big for my cameras: it's 1777 grams (about 3lb 14oz), 19.1cm heigh and has a diameter of about 11cm.
I've read it to be a nice and rare Petzval-type, but I know nothing more about it.
I want to sell it, as I will not be using it myself. Any idea what a reasonable price would be ? I don't want the most out of it, but I don't want to feel stupid afterwards either
Here are some pictures:
Thanks,
Stefan.
