Look what the beanstalk dropped.
It’s a 195mm Triplet with an aperture of f/1.25! This big boy is perfect for dags.
Problem 1: The 7″ diameter means I have to mount it on my Ansco Studio camera. Maybe it can support the weight.
Problem 2: I hope my bellows can compress enough to accommodate the focal length at portrait distance.
Problem 3: Will it illuminate an 8×10 ground glass?
Regardless, it will be fun to find out!
