Hi everyone ,I just bought a new camera,I am having no luck figuring out who made this lens.
The name on the lens is
extra rapid portrait Geo.l.kohne Toledo ,o

It has a aperture ring in the middle and two stacked lenses in the rear
which seem to have marks with numbers 1 thru 4.

I thought maybe this is a voigtlander lens, but I can't find any information on it.

The name of the camera maker is Heinrich & Poulsen, kjobenhavn

Any help would be greatly appreciated[attachment 340 wet_plate-camera.jpg][attachment 341 wet-plate-camera-2.jpg][attachment 342 wet-plate-camera-3.jpg][attachment 344 wet-plate-camera-4.jpg]

Richard,
I cannot help you with information regarding the lens but your studio camera stand
knocks my socks off. Is there a makers mark on it?

I have not found any makers mark as of yet.

This is the only camera I have found so far, that looks similar.
