Wollensak F2.7

[P3D <HPOSTER@xxxxxxxxxx>]

   With the discussion of the Wollensak F2.7 lenses, I checked into my library 
and came up with mid-1950s dealer catalogues of both Revere and Wollensak. 

   The Revere catalogue states that the Revere 33 has "...2 matched, coated,
35mm F3.5 lenses with perecision shutters; speeds 1/2 to 1/200..."  Not much
fanfare. 

   But the Wollensak catalogue states:  "...MODEL 10 STEREO CAMERA-W/coated
35mm f/2.7 WOLLENSAK AMATON Anastigmatic lenses in MFX RAPAX Synchromatic
Shutters; matched in focal lengths within less then '/4 of one percent; fully
color corrected; excellent definition and resolution without sacrifice of
contrast; click stops for accurate diaphragm and shutter speed settings.
Accepts standard #5 disc filters and Series VI sun shade and accessories.
Shutter speed markings, 1/2 to 1/300 sec, T and B and lens stops located on
top of lens mount for extra convenience. Uniform synchronized controls for
lens stops, shutter speeds and flash; superimposed image rangefinder;
simplified 3-arrow exposure guide; automatic flash computer; eye-level
focusing and viewing; double exposure prevention; single frame provision   
Complete with f/2.7 lenses, inc. tax, $199.50" 

   Now that's a mouth-full!
