Alexis Millet Petzval 290mm f3.8 - cone design

Here an unusual petzval lens deigned by Alexis Millet back in 1860s.

The lens use an internal cône to avoid reflections and use circular stops. A bayonet mount hold the front part of the lens.

Lens is in absolute wonderful condition. Sold with its original leather cap and 3d printed flange.

Ready to use for 5x7 and 8x10 works as it covers 8x10 with superb petzval effect.

Please note you’re buying 100 to 150 years old items. Patina, scratches on barell etc. are signs of their previous lifes. I try to be as precise as possible so feel free to ask more picture (daylight pictures for example) via messenger or mail
