ROBBIES


ELECTRONICS EMPORIUM



In this shop I sell and put up new items on a weekly basis. At the end of each week the item is retired never to return again. The site pays homage to Mr. ROB of long street Queenstown SA of whom I was a customer for over 50 years. Most items are valve audio related, general vintage electronics and RF, parts, bit's and pieces and sometimes a grab bag of assorted goodies.

Here is a Telephoto Camera Lens Century tele athenar 300mm lens for movie camera Arri positive lock (PL) mount

These are optimized for movie use. Lenses like this are quite simple in construction. A well-corrected achromatic doublet with an optical flat in the front and rear. These are razor-sharp optics and take amazingly good movie film.
Century Precision Optics is still in business. It was acquired some years ago by Schneider. It continues to cater to the higher-end needs of the movie industry, which has always been one of its bread-and-butter applications.


From an ebayer with more knowledge than I " I suspect the lens pre-dates the Arri introduction of the PL mount. Looks like an Arri Standard mount which preceded the Arri Bayonet and the Arri PL."
