The A series featured an open aperture of F4 with a wider image circle compared to the B series. The 2A with its 350mm focal lenght is one of the best choices for 8x10 work, but can also be used up to 12x12 formats.

The serial number is: 31.996 which puts the lens in the year 1882. It is the second veresion of the 2A feature the rack & pinion mechanism.

Condition: The best part about this specimen, is that this beauty comes in a authentic collectors condition! The  lens was never polished and shows the golden laquere shows only light wear, and a beautiful patina. The rack & pinion mechanism is complete and working. The difussion mechanism in the rear is working aswell. The glass is very nice here, showing only the most minute cleaning marks. Overall its crispy clear and shows a fantastic bokeh on the groundscreen.


It comes with the original flange.
