Lens is 8″ long and a bit more than 1-1/2″ diameter. Quite heavy, i believe it to be solid brass. Brass is well worn and discolored in places. Focusing rack works smoothly. Mackenstein element has slot for Waterhouse Stops but i don’t have them. I have no idea of focal length or what format camera this was for. Given that they replaced the front element with the Mackenstein, maybe a homemade camera? Glass is decent for age but needs cleaning. 10% of this sale is being donated to a Nationwide Food Bank, so thank you.

Very unusual wideangle brass lens. Hermagis began building the wide angle based on the design of Harrison and Schnitzler’s Globe lens not long after its presentation in 1860; yet, although Gasc & Charconnet licensed the brand, it seems that Hermagis got around the patent by presenting a version “avec diaphragmes perfectionnés”. ___from the Corrado d’Agostini’s book “Photographic lenses of the 1800’s in France”, page 183___. Offered here for sale the lens with serial number 13201, so even earlier than the unit shown on the Agostini’s book. Good condition for its age, it keeps his original lacquer, nice patina glasses: clean and clear, may be some very light cleaning marks, almost unnoticeable, hard to see at the naked eye diaphragm device works properly comes with lens flange. Angle: 90º height (with lens hood): 104mm frontal diameter (lens hood): 83mm image circle: about 46cm (enough for a 12×12 plate) weight (with lens flange): 668gr.
