Wow -- that is SO cool! Love the pencil signature on the photo; so wonderful that you would find not only the ship but a photo taken by the same guy, taken possibly with the very same lens, right there on the internet. Thanks!

I am always interested in large format, old photography equipment. Iâve been cleaning out my cabinets, etc., and found an interesting lens. It is a Regno, Wallensak Optical Lens, 6 1/2 X 8 1/2. Inside is penciled in around the lens iris, âUSS Fairmont, , G.S. Ray USN, 1918.

Then I found this on the Internet :Â www.history.navy.mil/photos/sh-usn/usnsh-f/id2429.htm
