Liesegang 800mm !! F4.5 ULF lens
€1500.00
Sold Out
The Liesegang lens has a triplet design, like the Cooke Portrait lenses and Anastigmats. Those lenses
are sharp in the center and get softer towards the outer regions, like a portrait lens should be, and offer a
super shallow DOF for ULF formats.
The drawback here is, its quite a big lens and it offers no aperture
control either. If you can live with that and want to keep your budget
small, this is your lens to go.
Condition:
The overall condition here is good. There are some signs of wear and
age. A big bonus here is the super sturdy and massive flange which makes
it able to mount the lens safely to a camera (or van, or whatever you
need).
The glass is clear, some cleaning marks are present as always, and some wear in the coaring, both wont
affect the image at all.
In the past i found usually around 1-2 of such monsters per year, but since a couple of years they vanished from the market and i couldnt find not even one. This is the first (and maybe last) specimen which i was able to find for 3 years now.
WIth its 800mm (almost 32") focal lenght this massive lens will cover up to 60x60 (or 25"x25") formats, maybe even slightly larger.
