Leitz EPIS 1:4 / 400mm – grootformaat projectieobjectief...

Impressive and exceptionally large Ernst Leitz Wetzlar EPIS projection lens, manufactured in Germany. This original Leitz EPIS 1:4 / 400mm lens was intended for a Leitz episkop/epidiaskop, for projecting non-translucent material. With its enormous front element, 400mm focal length, and light-gathering power of f/4, it is nowadays also highly sought after for experimental large-format photography, wet plate collodion, portraits, and camera obscura projects. The lens has no standard camera mount, no built-in diaphragm, and no focusing mechanism. For photographic use it must be mounted on a lens board, a bellows camera, or its own adapter construction. The housing shows normal signs of use and aging, including superficial scratches and wear. The large optical elements appear clear; examine the photos carefully, they are part of the description. * Manufacturer: Ernst Leitz Wetzlar * Model: EPIS * Focal length: 400 mm * Aperture: f/4 * Type: episkop/epidiaskop lens * Origin: Wetzlar, Germany * Era: circa 1950–1970 * Suitable for: large format, wet plate, experimental photography and projection * Includes: exclusively the shown lens
