I have this zoom lens marked "NASA wide angle zoom." Its a 9-27mm fisheye zoom with unknown lens mount.It seems to cover 35mm. Maybe used for launch photography/motion capture. Its a 4lbs lens so probably not flown in space. Has anyone seen this lens before or know its history? |

So now I found out that this lens sat on a Westinghouse television camera on the Apollo-Soyuz mission in space in 1975! The camera had a sensor/tube with a 25mm diameter and that's why the lens is made to cover a 35mm sensor. I think the optics are by Angenieux but haven't got that confirmed yet. Anyway thanks to all of you that helped figure this lens out. | |
