Hello everyone.
I am hoping that someone can shed some light on this lens.
I could find nothing in my online searches.
It is a G.Leitmeyr Munchen Doppel-Anastigmat Sytar 4,5/135 mm lens with shutter for a format larger than 35mm.
I do not know which format it is most suitable for and would be grateful for some guidance.
Thanks in advance
OH

Interesting looking lens. I just picked up an old lens in a dial type shutter. It made some interesting photos when cobbled together onto my A7 with BluTak. _________________ photos are moments frozen in time |

Yes, very typical lens of the 1920s.
These can be quite sharp.
Its a 4 in 4 design like most of the Doppel Anastigmats.
With an Ibsor (predecessor to the Prontor) this was a mid-range option as German plate cameras went in those days. Top of the line would have been Compur shutters and a Tessar or something more exotic.
They are wasted on digital of course, other than to try.
They are meant to cover quite a large bit of sheet film.
135's should cover 4x5 quite well, as on a Speed Graphic, though with very limited (or no) movements.
They were used on 9x12 (smaller than 4x5) as these plate cameras normally had a good range of rise/fall and left/right shift. _________________ I like Pentax DSLR's, Exaktas, M42 bodies of all kinds, strange and cheap Japanese lenses, and am dabbling in medium format/Speed Graphic work. |

Lens arrived today and is in excellent condition for its age.
All shutter speeds are working and are at least approximately correct: - 1 - 2 - 5 - 10 - 25 - 50 - 100 - B - T
Aperture is marked thus:
4.5 - 9 - 12.5 - 18 - 25 - 36 - 50
I will use it on my Horseman 45HD
