Vintage B&L Lens in Kodak Shutter, circa 1915-1920

            Here's another much older lens than my previous post, also removed from a folding camera. This one, a Bausch & Lomb Optical Co. "Rapid Rectilinear" lens mounted in an Eastman Kodak Co. ball bearing shutter which dates to roughly 1910 or so.  The lens/shutter combo are from a No. 3-A Folding Pocket Kodak Model C camera (from the same period of course). It is hardly pocket sized, and this lens will cover 4x5 - no roll film adapter needed. Watch for a post about the camera soon.

It's also shown here with a Kodak Series VI adapter ring and Wratten Filter G (yellow).
