Petzval 150mm F3.1 Fast Antique Brass Wet Plate Wooden  Folding  Camera Lens RARE This lens appears to have some age. Approx. Circa late 1800's. It is of the typical petzval design  with a cemented achromat doublet lens at the front and 2 air spaced lenses(flint+crown) at the back. Both lens groups are set in their own housings indicating a quality construction. This is a true photographic lens with a slot for waterhouse stops but non included! Cosmetic condition: The outside of the brass lens barrel shows lots of patina and wear commensurate with age. The hood is no longer perfectly round and the barrel is a little bent/distorted around where the waterhouse stop is.

Optical condition: Optically the lens is excellent! clean / clear.  There are some small dust / cleaning marks / small marks / scratches all normal for an antique lens of this age and nothing to affect performance. There is a small amount of balsam separation around one edge of front element again nothing to affect performance. (please see last picture)

Mechanical condition: The rack and pinion focussing is working ok but does slip quite a lot! There is  a slot for waterhouse stops but non included!

Mocked up on my camera it appears to form a nice sharp image and does appear to cover 5x4" format well, much better than most 150mm petzval's that I have tested! (appears to have little-no vignetting at infinity that I can see but with some softening at edges as expected with the petzval design). Also faster than most 150mm petzvals that I have come across. You could possibly remove the internal housing for waterhouse stop if so desired and then it would be even faster!(approx. F2.9!) It comes with a flange/retaining ring that is slightly buckled/warped making it very difficult to screw on and off! However it is ready to mount to a camera of your choice! Measurements approx. Height: 11.1cm glass elements diameter 5.2cm Aperture/iris opening at largest aperture: 4.8cm Rear Screw Thread: 6.4cm Outside flange: 8.5cm rear housing diameter: 6.1cm hood diameter: 7.5cm Unpacked Weight Approx.: 640g SOLD AS SEEN AND DESCRIBED!

Forgot to mention: A nice bonus of this lens is that the front group housing can be screwed in place of the rear group at the rear of the lens(both front & rear have exact same size threads). By using the front achromat group alone the focal length becomes approx 260mm and works as a landscape/soft focus portrait lens. Not all petzval lenses are able to do this so thought I would mention it. Thank you and good luck if you decide to bid!
