Two more Ebay Petzvals….

Ebay Petzvals

Ok heres my last two Petzval impulse purchases off of Ebay.

The smaller one has some text around two of the larger glass elements that reads “E Francais 1881”. It cost me all of £8, yes £8.

The larger one has 12″ written on the lens caps. This one seems to easily cover my half plate. This one cost a bit more and someone else had the nerve to be bidding on it also. £22 final bid and still a bargain in my head.

So four Petzvals of differing sizes and quality. They all have different thread sizes so each will have to have its own lens panel made for each camera.
