Characterized by its lack of an internal aperture iris mechanism, this heavy-duty metal barrel was custom-designed by Leitz specifically as a high-fidelity projection or episcopic optical assembly. Utilizing premium multi-coated German glass housed inside a robust, solid metal barrel with integrated spiral focusing ridges, it delivers an incredibly luminous, wide-open image circle with beautiful edge-to-edge rendering.

Because it was engineered as a projection lens, it entirely dispenses with an aperture iris, allowing the glass to prioritize pure light transmission and maximum center resolution. The lack of markings beyond the iconic maker's name is highly typical for specialized Leitz epidiascope or large-format slide projector lenses from this era. Today, these are highly prized by alternative process photographers and experimental mirrorless shooters who mount them onto modern cameras using helicoid adapters; because the glass is so uncompromised, it produces an incredibly dreamy, painterly look with gorgeous center sharpness and a soft fall-off that modern digital lenses can't replicate. It's a completely honest, beautifully machined artifact of German optical dominance.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eErnst Leitz GmbH Wetzlar\u003c\/b\u003e Special Projection Lens Barrel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\"\u003e[Note: This is an aperture-free projection lens; it does not include camera mounts, lens caps, or a shutter system.]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,0,0\"\u003eBrand: \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"7\"\u003eErnst Leitz Wetzlar\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,1,0\"\u003eModel: \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"7\"\u003eGmbH Wetzlar Projection Lens\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,2,0\"\u003eLens Type: Specialty \/ Tilt-Shift Lens\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,3,0\"\u003eAperture System: None (Fixed Wide-Open)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,4,0\"\u003eFocus Control: Manual Slide \/ Helical Barrel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,5,0\"\u003eConstruction: Machined Metal Alloy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,6,0\"\u003eCategory: 2.
