    Description

    Unique, One of a Kind Portrait Lens for your Antique Century / Kodak Camera
    It's an experimentally made item that was probably not intended portraiture ~ Test lens ~ As-is
    The total
    measurement of the board is
    9x9" square inner lip is 8.5x8.5"
    -- we built it to fit the specifications of our antique Century No 1 large format camera - as you can see from the last photos where we posed nearby and added some test shots.
    We couldn't find a ring large enough to connect the lens to the lens board so we permanently fixed it to the wood board
    I honestly don't know where the lens itself originally came from (or what it goes to)
    The lens is marked with serial number 1235 FD-21.685 IN.
    We came across it in a box where we store camera parts for restoration projects.
    The lens itself is vintage and has some haze & light scratching which can be seen in the photos.
    We named her Oculi Magni because it translates to Great eye, or Big Eye in Latin
    Buyer will receive the exact lens/lensboard shown in the photos.
    Thank you for looking!
