DARLOT PARIS BRASS LENS

DARLOT PARIS BRASS LENSDon’t know much about this lens, since the only markings are ‘Darlot Paris’ and ‘Made in France.’  The back focus distance measures 8.5 inches. We were told this is probably an 1870-90 Darlot ‘Petzval’ portrait lens. The lens barrel is 2 inches in diameter and the length, minus the front shade is 3.5 inches. The barrel is in nice shape, possibly refinished. The glass is good considering its age, with some marks, no major chips or blemishes, probably plenty usable. The lens is thread-mounted directly into a 110x110mm Canham metal lens board (no flange). There are no lens caps. The Canham lens board is included.

A little more information: This is a projection lens.  Has no f Stops or Waterhouse Stops.

We mounted the lens on a 5×7 camera. Here is what we found;

Focal Length @ infinity (lens center to GG) = 6”
Glass Diameter = 1.58”
Apparent f = 3.79 I would call it an f4.0
Measured Image Circle = 5”
(The full diagonal of 4×5 would require 6.4”)
This lens would not cover 4×5 at infinity.

The focus mount diameter is 2.18”
Would say the thread mount is about 55mm
The barrel of the lens is, w/o mount 2.07”
Front to rear glass to glass, about 3.02”
Barrel, front to back, w/o hood 3.51”
Total front to back w/hood 4.40”

8×10 WISNER EXPEDITION *SOLD*

8x10 Wisner Expedition #8x10viewcamera #wisner8x10 #wisnerexpediton We have for sale one of the best Wisner cameras made, the 8×10 Expedition.   Quoting from the original catalog listing: “This series is for the photographer who wants the full features of the Technical Field Cameras, including the patented Wisner geared axis tilt and rear rise, but who wants a light weight camera for backpacking or other location work.  These cameras are made of American black cherry and high strength aircraft aluminum which has been brass anodized.”  You will find the original Wisner catalog HERE with more information and specifications.

This was Susan’s main camera up to about ten years ago when she moved to the pano format exclusively.  There are some modifications including, foldaway closure latches and a lay flat leather hand strap.  The camera has been in storage, is complete, fully functional and in excellent condition.  It comes with the original maroon leather bellows, a black fabric bellows, a plain ground glass and original matching cherry wood ground glass protector.  Sorry, we do not have any lens boards for this camera.

 

Note:  This camera is used and shows signs of normal wear.  We take very good care of our equipment.  If you have any questions, please drop us an email.  What you see in the photographs is what is included.

SOLD
