Important Notice: I will be traveling for the next couple of months. There is a small possibility that i will be able to ship something in December this year, but its not 100% sure.

So keep in mind: you still can order items from the webshop, but the shipping might be only somewhere spring 2026.

History: The Dallmeyer Fast Portrait series A and B are well known for their incredible image quality.  For decades those lenses were the most sought after portrait lenses out there. 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 length is one of the best choices for 8x10 work, but can also be used up to 12x12 formats.

The serial number is: 105.409 which puts the lens in the early 1910es. 

Condition: This beauty comes in a really great condition. The black protective laquere shows some minor wear but also an authentic patina. The glass is in a really good condition, only the usual cleaning marks here and there, besides that its super clear and clean. The soft focus mechanism also works nicely. The best part about this black version is, that it comes with the original Dallmeyer iris aperture, which is still working perfectly.

A big bonus with this version which should be noted is the reduced weight of the lens. It comes with only 1200gr, which is almost half of the older brass version.

It comes with a fitting flange.
