WW2-era Wollensak Velostigmat Series II F4.5 Focus - CAMERA LENS - NICE!

Description: You are bidding on a NICE used example of an WW2-era Wollensak Velostigmat Series II F4.5 Focus Camera Lens! These were produced between 1909 and 1945! Wollensak’s Velostigmat Series II is a Tessar formula lens introduced about 1909. Series II Velostigmats had an aperture of f/4.5, and came in barrel mounts, Studio, Regno, Autex, Optimo, Betax, and perhaps other shutters. The Series II was Wollensak’s most popular lens, recommended for portrait, group, landscape, and “general use”. It came in quite a few focal lengths, from 3.5 inches through 19.5 inches. The 9.5, 12, 15.6, and 19.5 all had an optional diffusion adjustment that is fairly common, and some of the shorter lenses were occasionally featured it, (I’ve seen a 5 inch model with the diffusion feature). The Velostigmat Series II lenses were manufactured until just after WWII, with the later models being single coated (Wolcoated) by the factory. They were renamed the Raptar Series II and put into Alphax shutters in the late 1940’s, and production continued through at least 1957, though without the adjustable diffusion option. Made of brass, aluminum, and steel, this Camera Lens is in GOOD used condition. Some slight marks and wear, due to the age, but nothing that detracts. There is a scratch on the lens (see photos), so it may need to be polished out. A VERY NICE and original item for any collection or display!
