Quick Shipping Quote

This is a brass barrel lens marked with "Rapid Rectilinear 16x20". It is not marked with a focal length, max aperture, or brand. It is likely that a company such as Ross or Dallmeyer would have made a lens like this as a custom order for a customer who ordered this specific, simple engraving when they ordered the lens. While we don't know the exact focal length or aperture, it is likely that this lens was made as a portrait lens for ultra large format cameras and likely has a relatively fast max aperture for portraiture. This lens does not have a shutter.

This lens originally would have come with a set of waterhouse stops. These are now missing, although a new set of stops could feasibly be machined out of metal.
