Hi All, I found an interesting lens at the local swap meet yesterday. It is a Bausch and Lomb 40 inch Telestigmat f8 with yellow dot. Of course it is huge, with 5 1/2 inch diameter barrel and 5 inch front lens, the barrel is about 8 1/4 inches long. Someone had rigged it with ABS pipe and a bayonet mount for a 35mm SLR! I can find no mention of this lens on the net at ALL. Hss anyone ever seen anything like this?. My first assumption was a military aero lens, but now I'm not so sure. It's very nicely finished for a military lens with an almost fancy aperture adjusting ring. A minor mystery. I'm still trying to figure out what I might do with it. I might rig it up to try with my Kiev 6C, or make a huge box camera to try out some big sheets of x ray film I just inherited. Who knows.
