Description from the seller

The Rapid Aplanat Series A N1 is a historic photographic lens belonging to the category of optics used in the earliest sheet-film cameras and studio cameras between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The term “Aplanat” identifies a particular optical design devised to reduce certain image aberrations, improving sharpness and rendering compared to the simpler lenses of the era.

These optics were generally made of brass, often with black or polished finishes, and were mounted on large bellows cameras. The Series A N1 model was intended for portrait photography, landscape, or general use, offering a soft but very distinctive rendering, today particularly appreciated by enthusiasts of historic photography and antique processes.
