History: A very early landscape lens for the 8x10 and up to 14x17 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 features the wide angle alighnment for their Rectilinear lenses, covering around 100° angle.

This lens has a focal lenght of 220mm (or 8 1/2")at a speed of F14. I did testmount it and it covers 11x14 easily, working up to 14x17 and maybe even more.

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.
