Well, that's one of them thar . . . Well what the heck is that thing??

So, does anybody know what this lens is, or is for, or why it is in existence? I picked it up at a sale years ago, and have tried to find out something about it without any luck. Google searches come up bunk.

Here's what's on the lens:

Aldis f/5.6 Triplet W|D 20in. Focus No. 85124

Here are some pics (these are dpc thumbs, so click 'em for a look):







Anybody? Anyone?

What the heck is that thing??

Thanks :)

Rob

Hmph. That was easy :)

Thanks, American Horse, very much appreciated.

Quite glad it came in a box of junk and I didn't pay for it separately (and that in the box with it, for which I paid $10, was a slide to 35 mm film converter that I sold for $60).

So, time for the bin, or should I list it on the freebies thread?

It's a great big hunk of glass, that's for sure :)

Thanks again,

Rob

Put it on EBAY, see if you can a few bucks for it.

Couldn't hurt.
