This is a very massive and impressive lens made by the German company C.P. Goerz in Berlin, which are also well known for their famous lens named Dagor. This specimen features an impressive focal lenght of about 420mm (or 16 1/2") at a max. aperture of F5.5. The image circle of this beast is about 50cm in diameter. It will work as a long portrait lens for 8x10 and as ULF lens up to 11x14 formats.

The condition of the lens is quite good. The brass show overall only light wear. It seems that the lens featured an aperture in the past, which was removed and refitted with a waterhouse slot. There are three stops included, which fit well and are made of polystyrol. The glass inside is in a quite good condition, showing only some cleaning marks on the front element and some specs here and there. Otherwise the glass is clear and shows no haze and no fungus.


The lens comes with a fitting flange.
