DESCRIPTION
FOR SALE:This is from a very large camera estate in western PA that has been sitting unused in storage for many years. Note: I am not a photographer, collector nor expert. I am selling estate items. I am not able to assess condition in any professional manner. This item is being sold AS IS and may need cleaning and restoration to be used. Sold for parts or restoration. PLEASE ask any questions important to your satisfaction BEF...ORE bidding.
ITEM: This is an antique lens from a large studio portrait camera. It has a brass barrel with a lens at each end. The barrel focusing collar is marked with a D and sideways A logo, Paris SE III. The focusing knob reads A Darlot Opticien Paris. The front lens assembly screws off. The back lens diameter is just shy of 5cm or 2 inches. The front lens has diameter about 4cm, or a bit more than 1 1/2 inches. The whole assembly is about 3 7/8 inches long. There are threads on the focusing collar that would screw in to mount it to a camera. When held up to a piece of paper, a far image comes into focus when the back of the lens is about 4 inches from the paper. I see some yellow crackling near the edges of the front lens - I believe that is separation. and there are some chips visible on the edges of the back lens. So, this is being sold AS IS for parts or restoration. Please see pictures and ask any questions.
