bill_zelinski Posted May 20, 2000 Share Posted May 20, 2000 I'm sorry if this is not the proper forum for this question but would ask your help in indentifying a lens. It is in a black barrel 5" in length 4" in diameter with a mounting flange and makers mark engraved of of Ernest leitz Wetzlar. The word EPIS f=32.5cm 1:36 is engraved on the barrel. No serial number, no shutter, just one big lens. What could this possibly been used for and where might I find more information? Thanks for any help.

michael_darnton1 Posted May 22, 2000 Share Posted May 22, 2000 Sounds like some kind of copy machine lens, doesn't it? Were you intending to make it part of your 8x10 portrait setup? With a FL of 325mm and that size, it sounds like it should be more like f/3.6 instead of f/36. Sure you didn't miss a decimal point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill_zelinski Posted May 23, 2000 Author Share Posted May 23, 2000 Thanks mike but I finally found out that the lens was from an episcope and is not usable for image capture but it might make a handy doorstop:).. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
