french Petzval 135mm F3.3
€350.00
Sold Out
Condition:
This quite nice Petzval design lens comes in a stunning condition. The brass shows some authentic patina and was not polished. The
rack & pinion is there and works smoothly. The
glass is in great condition also, only very minimal cleaning marks here and there. Besides
that there is no haze, fungus or anything that would harm the final image.
The lens doesnt feature an engraving, but that was a common thing with many early petzval lenses from france.
The most interesting part here, is that the lens comes with a working iris aperture. A very rare sight with petzval lenses, especially this size!
It
has a
focal lenght of 135mm at a speed of F3.3. It will work best as a
portrait lens for 4x5 formats with light falloff and maybe a soft vignietting in the corners at infinity. The petzval character is strongly present here if you have somekind of structure in the background!
Lens comes with a fitting flange.
