Here for you a fine early wide angle ( seemingly ) by Goerz , from the 1890's and without inscription but there are clues to its identity. At least two german makers inscribe the details of the lens on the flange, with the flange now missing other pointers become useful. The apertures are marked in Goerz's system running from 24 to 768 see last picture for a helpful table. With 24 translates to f15 and that points to the Weitwinkel Lynkeioskop Series F with its claimed 105 degree coverage for 30x36cm(11x14) format.

See New catalogue photos added that support / confirm the lenses heritage and with thanks to the Generous and knowledgeable Member of the community for provideing the scans / photos.


So a Goerz wide angle with Beauty, Power and Endurance for your landscapes on film or wet plate.


Condition

The brass barrel shows some loss of finish and patina in other areas, the rotary disk apertures works well. The glass excellent with no fungus, a single scratch to the front element just a tiny amount of edge separation not effecting performance and a little dust. Sorry no caps but the elements will be protected when shipped. Sorry on flange but the threads are 56mm in diameter.
