I have found that the old lenses from pre-coating days (before 1940) exhibit softness, flare and amazing bokeh. In order to keep a mild bit of order, there will be a separate page for each lens. As a further consideration – prior to 1940 color film was not an item generally for sale. These lenses were designed for B&W film. A couple of the lenses I will use in this section will approach 1950 and generally be poorly coated.
The separate pages for the lenses are in the right column and downward a bit >>>>>>>>
Below is a picture of the lenses I currently (June 2009) am playing with:
This is a listing with the lens descriptions. There is much missing data such as focal length. As I progress in the testing and
do actual measurements, they will be updated. The top two are the aperture blanks. The others are numbered from the top left to the bottom right.
