Wollensak Raptar LE-2(2) Lens
Just got one of these, what with the LE-2(2) designation? It is a 4.5,
10inch (254mm) lens, it has coated optics. The box it came in states it was manufactured in 04/56 and that it was made for the US Army(signal corps). I have seen a type of wollensak lenses, but I am lost on this one. Jim Simmons |

Jim Simmons You might search for old military technical manuals on photography, the designation may show up there. The military had a great many lenses of all sorts made by contract. I don't have specific information about this one. -- --- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles, CA, USA |
