C.C. Harrison Portrait Petzval 400mm F4
€2500.00 EUR
The engraving reads:
'7862 - C.C. Harrison - New York'
That dates the lens in the early to mid 1860ies.
Condition: This beauty comes in a nice condition. The brass shows only light wear and a nice golden glow. The lens features a waterhouse slot (no stops included). The radial drive is missing, but this is rather a cosmetic then functional issue. The glass on the other hand comes in a nice condition, there are the typical cleaning marks, but besides that there is no seperation, haze or damage to them. They are crispy clear and the image on the ground glass is outstanding.
With
its fast open aperture of F4 and a focal
lengh of 400mm (or 16"), this lens will work from 8x10 up to 11x14 formats, showing some fine character on portrait range.
It comes with a flange.
