I found this monster Wollensak 63mm f4 W.A. (Pro-70)??? yesterday and have no idea what it might be used for or what photographic device it was intended to be used on.
The lens groups are rather small but the barrel is HUGE, and it's a focusing barrel that focuses from 1.2 ft to infinity.
My first thought was that it's an aerial lens that fits on a big medium format aerial camera??, but then I thought it may be an enlarging lens, but with barrel focusing to infinity??
Anyway, I've found no Google info on this beast. I'll attempt to add a few snapshots of it for your perusal. I'd appreciate any comments on what this might have been used with....
Or if it's possible to use the lens groups on another shutter or barrel to put on one of my Speed/Crown Graphics. I placed the thing next to a typical lens shutter and board to emphasize the size.
Thanks in advance for any information.
