Ross London f/ 5.5 17 inch lens

[winddancing__]

"Found" lens. f/ 5.5 to f/ 32 17 inch Teleros. Had modern Burke

and James of Chicago label stuck on. No shutter. As it is large

and too heavy for a hand held 4/5 it must be a studio type. Would

like some general information as to its intended use and quality of

output. TIA

The name is a good indication; it is a tele design lens, not a studio lens. Designed, I believe,

for English half plate (4.75 x 6.5), it should be a reasonable performer, depending on

condition. I would assume that B&J did an after-market coating the lens.

You'll find a Teleros catalog page at the following link:

There are two Ross catalogs in that section of the site. Click on "Info on Camera Equip." in the menu to the left.

So, winddancing*, you are a real p.net reader?!

 

On your APO El-Nikkor question offline, here is the answer:

 

Just keep the lens away from extreme heat/cold. :-)

Clueless Winddancing is barely literate, he mostly looks at the pictures; but, thanks for passing on the information

I have only two things (may be more that I am not yet aware of) going for me: 1. Memory, 2. Eyesight. Literacy could be several feet below yours, I am afraid.

 

I appreciate an actual name instead of a screen name when I receive a private email.
