The ROSS LONDON brand, not to mention value-friends are rarely heard, not even everyone in the photography circle knows.
Speaking of optical systems, many people may think of Japanese Canon, Nikon, or German-born Zeiss and Leica first. However, when modern optics began to grow in popularity in the last century, the United Kingdom was also one of the major constituent forces. When it comes to British optical brands, the most famous of them is DALLMEYER. The movie lens of this brand has always been the pursuit of many senior fans, and even a whiteboard lens (refers to the earlier lens without coating). Can sell thousands of dollars.
In addition, the British optical brand also has COOKE, and ROSS LONDON to say today. Those who are interested in this brand can go to Wikipedia's introduction.
The ROSS lens is not uncommon, but currently available are generally large and medium format lenses and zoom heads, in which the zoom heads generally see the relatively late RESOLUX series, and I also have a 9cm f/ on hand. 4's.

What's more interesting is that the sellers at that time were linked to EBAY's charity auctions, which means that the funds they shoot will be donated to charitable funds.
At the same time, the design style of the British and German series lenses is totally different both in appearance and color. The right side is only Leica's 50mm/f4.5.
The English-language lens has a typical London-like color representation. Unlike the vividness and fullness of the German head, ROSS's lens gives a restrained, solid style.
Although it is a very early white lens, the glare problem of this ROSS lens is not serious, but this is partly due to its simple optical structure.
Some photographers nowadays like to pursue the so-called "gold content." While modern lenses have complex optical structures, multi-layer coating technology that can effectively suppress inter-mirror diffraction can really provide the lens with adaptability in different lighting scenes. However, the photos that are produced are often the same as "red, green, and green," and they are brightly colored as "fake".
Although the early white lenses were not as advanced as the coating, they actually made the “seeing†things more realistic.
Of course, many people in today's photographic circles are "only big-aperture" and think that this type of lens with only the F4.5 aperture does not flow at all. However, in my opinion, a small aperture lens does not mean that the quality will be poor, and even a small aperture can actually improve the mood of the photographer - not to pick up the camera whenever and wherever possible, to take pictures, think about each shot Measure in the end can shoot? Is it worthwhile to shoot? The process of photography is actually a kind of philosophical thinking, especially in the film machine era.
Think about it. Who should be good at writing in the next period?
However, since the British Department of Optics has been written in this issue, it will continue to be continued in the next period. Let's write “Auntie†DALLMEYER.
