During my last visit I met Mr. Corrado D'agostini again.
He's the writer of the book I mentioned before on my weblog
It contains almost 400 pages covered with loads of information about the
most famous French optics.
most famous French optics.
Including many pictures. Names like: Berthiot, Hermagis, Darlot, Jamin etc.
You will also find many background information about the makers and
technical information about the optics.
technical information about the optics.
Also every documented lens has it's serial number published.
Unfortunately not the year of build. Pity, but you can't have it all.
Mr Corrado was showing a nice open petzval lens to me.
On my question: "Is this one for sale" he commented positive!
So now I am the proud owner of a "half plate" petzval.
Mr. Corrado D'agostini still owns the other half.
I want to use it during demonstrations, just to show how skilled they were
during the 17th century. It reveals all the mystery's of a petzval lens
The crazy thing is that it still produces an image when I point it to a light at the ceiling
