1920s Pathe Freres Paris projection lens

[Dr Klaus Schmitt]

Got two such Pathe Freres Paris projection lenses (65mm + 85mm) through a friend,
guess they are from the 1920s..

Some shots with the 65mm mounted on my GH4 at evening light

I'm pretty impressed about that lens nearly 100 years old...

All glorious uses of a venerable Petzval?

What about an aperture?

Thanks! Aperture, for what? I have enough sharp lenses, happy to have one which is softer with a fine glow!!

I would have an exhibition called, “Dream Vision”!

Mood, mood, mood! Just being embedded in glorious gossamer silk and a magic spell!

Thank you, I really like this lens a lot, nearly as much as my Hermagis!!

Klaus,

How have you mounted them. You can dispense with an aperture but is there anything to thread on to?

I’d love to see your setup or do you have one that You have shared previously and adapts to just about anything?
