Aarlanderveen Windmill No. 3 - a photo on Flickriver

Aarlanderveen Windmill No. 3

            I had been looking for a 59 mm lens for some years, to complete the 50-59 serie. Welcome to the magical world of lens collectors. And a Dutch lens it is:
Chr. Huygens Amsterdam "Vena" F4 f=59mm lens. It has aperture but no focusing helicoid, because of the reference the Huygens possibly a technical lens.

Vena
Vena Optische Apparatenfabriek werd opgericht te Amsterdam door Samuel Naarden en Evert Verlegh in het jaar 1940. Samuel Naarden was hiervoor lenzenslijper bij de De Oude Delft. In de WOII werden een aantal joodse medewerkers afgevoerd en in deze moeilijke periode ontstond het ontwerp voor de Venaret. De Venaret had veel weg van de Reflex Korelle, immers Frans Kochmann van het in de WOII platgebombardeerde Korelle-Werke (Duitsland) stond aan de basis. De camera productie werd gestart in 1948. Vena heeft tussen de 20.000-30.000 camera's gebouwd. Helaas werd in 1951 voor Vena het faillissement uitgesproken. De buitenlandse kwaliteit en prijzen waren hier debet aan.

Vena
Vena Optical Devices Factory was set up in Amsterdam by Samuel Naarden and Evert Verlegh in the year 1940. Befor that Samuel Naarden was making optical lenses for the Old Delft Company. In WWII a number of Jewish employees were deported and in this difficult period the design for the Venaret arose. The Venaret had a remarkable resemblance with the Reflex Korelle, Frans Kochmann of the company Korelle-Werke (Germany), bombed in WWII, stood to the basis. The camera production was started in 1948. Vena have produced totally about 20.000-30.000 cameras. Unfortunately in 1951 the Vena company filed for bankruptcy due to better foreign quality and prices.
