Guys, I found a Heliar exactly like the one in the first pictures except it has a S/N a few numbers off... so probably somewhere aorund 1898-1900!!!
I'm new with brass barrel lenses and unsure of its image quality and coverage... 8x10, 11x14, 12x16... more?
I'm debating keeping it to shoot with (missing lots of gear to do it now so would have to be eventually, after I get way more gear).
Has someone shot with it and has some test images?
How sharp/soft is the lens wide open / stopped down?
Do you guys have an idea of its value...?
