Voigtlænder's new Portrait Lenses. 25rs. 50rs. ... Messrs. Voigtlænder and Son, without having changed their views regarding their Portrait Lenses, by which they have been induced to manufacture them for so many years with different foci, have now yielded to the solicitations of a great number of amateurs, to construct lenses with coincidence of the visual and chemical foci, though they will continue making lenses with different foci for those persons who prefer them. At the same time, by an enlargement of their establishment, as well as by improvements in their machinery, they are enabled to offer these newly constructed lenses at prices much lower than formerly, 3 R. C. LEPAGE & CO.'S Voigtlænder's new Portrait Lenses. (continued.) No. 3A consists of a combination of Achromatic Lenses, 3 inch and 31 inch diameter, the combined focus being 11 inches, brass mounting, with rack and pinion adjustment, adapted for taking pictures 8 inches by 6 inches, with central stops each, 250rs. ... ...

A pair of the above No. 14 Lenses, of precisely the same focal length for taking Stereoscopic portraits, groups of figures from life, The pair These are the best that can be obtained for Stereoscopic Pictures. Voigtlænder's Orthoscopic Lenses for Views, &c. ... 90rs. 180rs. These newly-constructed Photographic Lenses, to which Voigtlænder and Son have given the name Orthoscopic (correct showing) are especially intended for taking views, copying maps, plans, pictures, and work of art, and all other inanimate objects. With a good light and sensitive chemicals, portraits may be taken; but this is not the purpose for which the Orthoscopic Lenses are intended. This new combination consists, like the Portrait Lenses, of two Achromatics, but it differs from them in this particular, that both the lenses are not Collecting Lenses, but the back or smaller one is a Dispersing Lens. The advantage gained by this improvement over the simple Achromatic Lenses hitherto employed for taking inanimate objects, views, &c., is the larger field, the increased amount of light, better perspective in the picture, and a greater degree of sharpness of the various objects placed at different distances. The putting together and mounting of the lenses is similar to the portrait combinations, but without any rack and pinion. The aperture of the front lens is never stopped, as is the case with the usual View Lenses, but left perfectly open. The small back lens is provided with stops of four different apertures, increasing more or less the sharpness of the picture at the sacrifice of light, consequently increasing the time of exposure. ORTHOSCOPIC LENSES, constructed expressly for taking Stereographs, combined focus 44-inch, with two Achromatics of and 13-inch, mounted in such a manner that when used in pairs for one and the same Camera and focusing screen, they may be adjusted to coincide perfectly. The pair, 110rs. Observations.-The two glasses of the back lens are not fixed in the mounting, in order to be able to clean them when necessary; but great care must be taken to replace them in their respective positions. The double concave lens, with its flatter side downwards, first, then the concave-convex lens, the concave side down; the ring must not be screwed down too tight. To focus with these lenses when there is a want of light, it should be done with the full aperture; then the focussing screen of the Camera is lifted up, and the cap with an appropriate stop, is pushed on to the mount of the back lens. |
