'HERMAGIS  - OPTen FABn - Brevete s.g.d.g. - Paris'

Condition: The condition of this small lens is worthy of any collection or wetplate studio. The brass is unpolished and still shows its authentic golden glow. Overall there is only minor wear to this small beauty. The rack & pinion mechanism is complete but doesnt really work. The glass is in good shape too. There are very few tiny edge chips in the rear, but overall it is very clear and without seperation or haze.

The lens  has a focal lenght of 150mm at a speed of F3.3. Its a interesting little lens, the image circle barely makes the 4x5 format on portrait distance, on the other hand it shows the most petzval characteristics i have seen so far on a petzval that size. I think this fellow will make someone really happy, making 4x5 portraits with a hefty petzval punch and minimal vignietting


Lens comes with the original flange and brass lenscap.
