History: A very early landscape lens for the 4x5 and up to 8x10 format. Dallmeyer was one of the earliest and a very reknowed optical makers in the early years of photography. He was well known and respected for his well built Aplanat series, and also for the Rapid Portrait series which had a portrait petzval layout.

This lens has a focal lenght of 220mm (or 8 1/2")at a speed of F11. I did testmount it and it covers 5x7 easily, working easily up to 8x10 and maybe even 10x12 formats.

This compact lens (weight is only 350gr!) will make a great travell companien for open air group portrait and landscape work.

Condition: Most of the authentic golden laquere is still present and the brass looks quite nice with a patina. The glass is cispy clear, except some light seperation at the edges.  The lens features a fully working revolver aperture which moves smoothly.

Lens comes with a flange.
