Berthiot Stellor n°8 serie Ib - 300mm F4

Stellor IB lenses are five element “Tessars,” differ from Zeiss’ Tessar in having a cemented triplet rear cell instead of a cemented doublet and coverage 52°.

Here is a n°8 that covers 8x10. The lens is in beautiful condition, with its rare black hood, flange (not on picture) and cap. Aperture is smooth to use and perfectly circular.

Berthiot catalogs claimed that “the image, while having excellent sharpness, has a certain softness that true portait photographers will know how to use to greatest advantage.”
