Item Details

Description

J.H. Dallmeyer 3.B "Soft Focus" Lens, c. 1890
J.H. Dallmeyer, London, No. 19543, focal length approx. 11 in., for Waterhouse stops (one included), height 8 in., front element Ø 8,9 cm, front element with some separation on the border, otherwise glass clean, rear element can only be partially screwed in since the thread is damaged, restoration may be possible by retooling the thread or treating with a polishing compound.
