Extreme Wide Angle Anastigmat Lens - c. 1890's
Notes:
A lens is generally considered wide angle if it covers an angle of 64 to
84°. An extreme wide angle may be capable of covering up to
100° or more. Such a lens was a necessity on a camera like the
Gundlach/Manhattan Korona Wide Angle Camera
on which this lens has been installed. Actually, this lens falls
short of being wide enough for the
Korona WA Camera.
