Description from the seller

Extra Rapid Aplanat is an antique photographic lens produced between the late 19th century and the early 20th century, intended for bellows and studio cameras. Thanks to its entirely metal construction and the distinctive iris diaphragm, it represents one of the most fascinating optics of early photography.

Main features:

* Vintage photographic lens.
* Aplanat optical scheme, designed to reduce optical aberrations.
* Iris diaphragm manually adjustable.
* Brass construction with a darkened finish.
* Focusing via the camera bellows.
* Designed for use with glass plates or roll film, depending on the camera model.

Today the Extra Rapid Aplanat is particularly appreciated by collectors, restorers and enthusiasts of historical photography. In addition to its collectible value, it can be adapted to modern cameras to achieve images with the characteristic vintage look, with a soft rendition and pleasant bokeh. It is a genuine testament to the evolution of photographic optics in the early years of photography.
