Kinoptik Aquilar Aerial Lens

leave a comment »

I recently aquired a new Aerial lens by french lensmaker Kinoptik called Aquilar.
The lens is 260mm focal length and its maximum aperture is ƒ3,5.

According to the Lens Vade Mecum it is a Tessar type lens and the results very much look like one.
I did a quick test using a very large Packard shutter placed in front of it. The lens came with a big red filter too.

Here is the lens itself with the large red filter.
