Hi I know ouch!! I have acquired many since then, now i know better... I dont know what it is about the Super Six to be honest, but like you say they come in different formats, like the Super Six projection lens will only sell for a few hundred compared to the anastigmat which will go in to the thousands. The chinese people absolutely love them, i used to sell quite a few of the pentac air ministry lenses by dallmeyer to the chinese but they have slowed right down now, but the super sixes are in great demand, so if anybody knows why please enlighten us. Regards John

Thanks Really appreciated. Regards John

Hi Thanks for your reply, To be honest i am not that knowledgeable on this subject, i am still learning. I started getting in to lenses about 18mths ago by accident, i found two old dallmeyer lenses, one was an 8" pentac air ministry lens, and the other was a dallmeyer super six anastigmat, I found them whilst clearing an old stage and light companies unit out. Didnt have a clue what they were and did no research on them, just put them both on fleabay for £80.00 and they sold in minutes, when they sold that quick it got me curious, it was then i researched and as you can gather i kicked myself repeatedly over many days, and thought it best not to tell the wife... Since then i have amassed quite a little collection of modern and late lenses, it is the dallmeyer that i am always on the lookout for, but this RTH i have i only purchased this as i have a customer in Germany who prefers them, now i know that you can get this RTH ental quite easily, and when i sent pics of this to my German client, his only response was ahh yes this is definately on his wish list, and asked could we sort something out, now i suspect it isnt the actual RTH but the little brass lens. I am just curious to know and try and find out what it is off, and not make the same mistake i did with the for me not so super six!!! Regards

Hi No it does not fit to the RTH lens at all, i have not got a clue what it is from, i am very curious. Thanks again John

Hi Thank you for the reply. Hopefully this one will come through larger. Regards John

Just like to say hi to all on here. Obviously i am new to this forum, and i am after a little bit of help identifying a small brass lens. I have a Rank Taylor Hobson lens which i acquired recently, and in the box is this little lens. I have not a clue what it is, is it part of the RTH or is it off something else, it has an inner and outer thread and is brass, i have attached picture. Please any info would be fantastic. Regards John
