The
Voigtländer & Sohn Extra Rapid Euryscope Series IV No 7. This lens
comes with a focal lenght of 25.8" (or 655mm) and a starting aperture of
F6. According to the catalouge it could be used wide open up to 20"x20"
and up to 24"x24" formats stopped down. In reality it will cover even more.
History: A
masterpiece of german lens making from the late 1880ies. The
Voigtländer Extra Rapid Euryscop offers the best of the 2 worlds, its
well corrected (way more then the petzval design), but also offers a
quite high open aperture of F6 (way faster then the stadard aplanat). The
series number is 42.944, which dates it back to the year 1893.
This is a very rare speciment which offers not only the original lenscap with a fine wooden grip, but also 3 fitting waterhouse stops (those are lost most of the time usually).
Condition:
The
condition of the lens is quite good. The brass shows some character and
was not polished, overall it shows a fine patina. The glass is in great condition, it shows only minimal cleaning marks here and there, otherwise it is really clear and free of haze or fungus.
The lens comes with its original flange, lenscap and 3 waterhouse stops!
