I have just cleaned out the corner of the darkroom and found a C-Claron
190mm f4.5 lens. This is a bit of a monster and is rather strange in that
it has no mounting flange or iris. The from the curvature of the elements
it seems as though it could cover 8x10 and a quick test pointed towards a
window seems to confirm that.
Right, so no iris, no mounting flange, barrel measures about 3 1/4"
diameter and is about 3" long, beautiful coated glass and a lot of
potential - or is it a paperweight? Did I mention it is heavy :-)
Suggestions please.
Cheers,
Clive
