Important Notice: Starting from March i will be travelling again for at least 1-2 months and wont be able to ship any items during that time period. You still can place your order (so nobody can buy the item in the meantime) but please take into account that the shipment will be later this year.

History: A quite interesting lens made very by Darlot which is rarily seen on the market today. The Objectif d' Artiste layout which featured a periscope layout. The lens derives from the Pulligny & Puyo lenses and offers a pictorealistic image with some nice diffusion to it. All in all its a fascinating lens not for photographers who want super sharp portraits, but rather for shooters who adore the pictorial style of the early 1900s.

Condition: The lens comes in a collectors condition. The brass parts come unpolished and offer a nice patina, there is minmal wear here and there but its still a beauty to look upon. The glass elements are in good overall condition, i can spot only minor cleaning marks here. The lens comes with a rack & pinion mechanism and even an iris aperture, both are complete and working smoothly.

It will work best for 8x10 and even larger formats (i think up to 11x14).


Lens comes with a flange.
