Big brass beast. No aperture or focal length markings.
Rear glass diameter is right at 3 inches.
Uses Waterhouse stops, but none included.
But finding info on 19th c. lenses is difficult.
It looks like a lot of history is missing or not readily available on
the WWW.


Do you own a copy of Kingslake?

I certainly didn't pay $80 for my copy, not sure why it's so expensive right
