A buddy of mine and avid lens collector once mentioned the credo of all collectors: "everything comes to him, who can wait long enough...". Well, I must have waited long enough, since after some years, the brothers finally found each other..



So any idea why I make so much fuzz about old boring enlarger lenses?

Look carefully enough....

Yes, that's the difference! Made to be parfocal in UV and visible light.

When you said 'look closer' you must have meant higher up the EM spectrum! But very nice - do you have serial numbers of those lenses? And where's the missing 80mm brother?!
And if you were happy to grant permission for Delta to repeat this image with a credit, as the definitive image of this lens, where would you like the link to go?
