Original Description:
One of the nice brass petzval lenses from my collection. I have used this lens for wet-plate photography. It is a 12 inch lens or focal length of 300mm. It does cover 8x10. I have included an example showing its image circle. The rack & pinion is complete. No separation or fungus present. Also I have included one of the wet-plate samples that I have taken with this lens. Its a true photographic lens with waterhouse openings. I have included one crude waterhouse stop that you can us...e as a pattern to create more stops.

Serial number 17651 dates this lens to the early 1870s. The brass is in great condition. Glass is in really good shape with only minor small cleaning scratches.  The rear element does have some pitting on the glass, but having taken many photographs with this lens does not effect the quality of the images. Great shape for nearly a 150 year old lens.
Ross Brass Lenses from London are quite rare and famous for their build and image quality.
Included is a fitting lens cap, one waterhouse stop and flange. Free shipping in the US

Lens measures: 7 inches tall
4.25 inches diameter at the lens hood
3.5 inches barrel diameter.
