Carl Zeiss Anastigmat 442mm f7.2 serie III - 1893

Here a super rare Carl Zeiss lens made around 1892 or 1893. That anastigmat have a huge 90 degres angle of view and even if designed for 10x12 plates the image circle is around 30 inches ! So could cover easily 12x15 plates. So perfect for a lightweight lens for ULF wetplate projects.

With its early serial number of 2099 it's also a very rare lens. Perfect for collectors.

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
