5x7 Rapid Rectilinear in brass barrel. Marked as Perken Son & Rayment, HattonGarden London, “Optimus”. Focal lengthapproximately 9”. Rear looks fairlyclean with some minor scratching. Frontglass is badly hazy and/or separated.Look at a bright blue sky though and its not quite as bad. Looks to cast a good image on my 4x5’s groundglass but I’m sure there’s some loss of contrast, and probably sharpness. These are in burnished mounts. Hood is well dinged up, and the barrel has ading just below the front threads that makes installing the front cell a bittricky.
