Wollensak Velostigmat Ser III W.A. f/9.5 6 1/4 (165mm)
This is a wide angle lens that covers 8x10 inches. It is roughly equivalent to a 21mm lens in 35mm photography. The construction type I could not find in any literature. I disassembled it and it looked like a double gauss . But someone in the Large Format Photography Forum called my attention to the fact that in the 1957 Wollensak catalog there is a Raptar with the same focal and aperture that is a 8 elements in 4 groups. Like a Double Gauss in which each element is a doublet. |
