Life before Tessars?
What were popular lenses for LF cameras before the Tessar came out in 1902? Just curious,
Thanks!

For portraits, the Petzval was still going strong, and rapid rectilinear/aplanat lenses for everything else.

Well, of lenses that sort-of survive to this day there are the Cooke Triplet (still found in low-end P&S and some view camera lenses), the Protar (forerunner of the the Tessar, although the Tessar is better thought of as a derivative of the triplet), the Dagor, the Hypergon, the Heliar, the Petzval (still used in slide projectors).
