Here we have a 14” f5.6 Lens, originally for an aerial camera. I believe this lens was made for the Air Ministry, and has an item number of 14A/3254 (Serial No. TT286877) The lens is in fairly good condition with no damage, but is showing signs of age. There is a huge 16 blade diaphragm that operates correctly, with marking for f5.6, f8, f11 & f16. The optics have some internal dust, and there is what looks like a small air bubble in the rear element (probably there from new). There are no scratches on the glass and to my eye, there doesn’t appear to be any signs of fungus. Please note that the front of the lens may have been removed at some stage, and there could be a missing screw – see picture. As the elements unscrew it may be possible to clean the glass and restore the lens to its former glory. Sold as seen with no guarantee. Please ask if you have any queries. Please note this is a heavy optic weighing 1.5kg without packing, so postal rates are quite high!
