SSN ‘ GENTLEMEN,—In reference to the pair of Lan EVL.OR Obs OBSON. tern Lenses you made specially for me, in working ast ‘FICESTER tnampton Stee ORN, I found the illumination perfect; the definition ree L " KarOSUNM HIGH HOPGNDON. and crispness of the image left nothing to be desired. I also found an immense depth of focus, which is a great desideratum, as it saves the trouble of continually having to focus every slide (owing to’the different thickness of the glass used in the slides). This js a very important feature. It is a class of lens that I have long felt the want of, and which at last you have been able'to realise. I must not overlcok the fact of their being symmetrical in form and free from distortion. I need only mention several gehtlemen of eminence in the art-science of Photography who fully share my opinion, viz., Messrs. H. P. ROBINSON, VALENTINE BLANCHARD, FRANK M. Goop, and many others who were with me on several occasions in the gallery when working, and in addition I need only refer you to the London daily press and other papers who speak in very high terms of their performance. and finish of the lenses leave nothing to be desired, and in my opinion absolutely perfect.
