The scientific lens co.

[FM2N]

Hello All,
I purchased this wonderful little lens today and would like to learn more about it.
On the brass rim it says-
The Scientific Lens Co.
Extr W.A. Anastigmat No.5
With front and rear glass in place it measures about a 8-9 inch focal length and with either the rear or front element removed it has an amazing 22 inch focal length.
How can I tell what size film the lens will cover?
I assume that if it is an extra W.A. lens and the focal length is 8-9 inches it is made for at least an 8x10 camera?
Any info would be a great help.

There seem to be no end to the variety of brands these little wide-angle lenses appear under. I have 2, different brands, essentially the same thing. This should be an extreme-wide-angle for 8x10.

Phototone,
Can you give me an idea of what the lens should cost?
Thanks

Haven't a clue. Really a special purpose lens, and not very adaptable to a shutter, except a packard.

I can't even remember what I paid for my copies about 30 years ago.

As I posted here: http://www.largeformatphotography.in...ad.php?t=49023 looks like the 10*12 inch model.

Value is fairly low if it has no flange, perhaps $ 75... circa 1905

My "The Scientific Lens Co. , New York extreme w.a. anastigmat" is marked for 11x14 and has a focal length of about 10 inches. Your lens will probably cover 8x10.

Thank you all for the info. This is why I love APUG.
