Fontenelle archives 73 : Old Delft 35 and 90 mm lenses

[Pecole]

Advertisement (gone after registration)

The Old Delft (or Oude Delft) quality screw lenses for Leica have already been discussed here, but I believe it interesting to publish new photos of the 3,5cm f/3,5Minor and the 9cm f/4,5 Delfar.

To start with, photos of the Minor and the Delfar mounted on a Leica IIIf with Optimus universal viewfinder :

This is a 6 yr old thread. Image links are gone.

 

I have an interest in the 90mm Old Delft lt. Were there both rf coupled as well as uncoupled version?

 

Do you recollect the images from the 90?

 

Thanks so much.

Hello, Mick.

I was surprised to discover that my old contributions are still discussed in the Forum, like the M3 recently. I surely have the Old Delft photos somewhere, but my archives still have partly to be "arranged". I have a PDF print of my nº 73 thread (2.39 MB) and would be happy to send you a copy by mail/cloud : I just need your e-mail address, that you can give me in a private message through this Forum.

Leically yours,

Pierre

Thanks so much Pierre ! Look for a mag with the addr

 

I nearly purchased a 9cm from a person in Japan. The lens - an ltm mount - had the screw mount completely replaced somehow with an M42 followed by an M42 to ltm adapter which had no coupling AND zone focusing was also off. So worked with a digital only.
