I have a similar one, looks like a Lancaster & Sons landscape lens to me.

Thank you very much.
It looks indeed very similar.
It could be from one of their cameras.
That would explain the lack of any name or number on the lens.


Sometimes they delivered to other makers ("subcontract" this is called nowadays...) which would also explain it.

It has a nice style. Particularly on the photos of the two ladies. A nice little lens.

Someone's signature here says something like "a life is not enough to try all the lenses" (my memory doesn't work very well, I might be quoting it wrong...)

When I see posts like this that shows how many gems are out there I think to that signature Smile

That's a great finding to my eyes Bernhard!
I particularly love the second to last shot, that bokeh is something amazing, it looks like a painting.
