Carl Zeiss Jena Anastigmat 112mm f/18 Lens (Pre-Protar)

This a very rare early version Wide Angle Anastigmat lens from Carl Zeiss Jena, which comes with a rotatable aperture disc with the following markings: 18, 22.5, 32, 45.2, and 64. From the research that I could gather, this seems to be late 1890's (possibly 1896), and came before Zeiss re-branded this version to the 'Protar'. Apparently it's a great performer, and covers 8x10. Since information is limited on this, please make sure you do your research and ask any questions before purchasing. Thank you!

Condition

• Lens is clean for its age, but does have some markings and wear on the brass, to be expected
