As a change of pace between other projects, I have been taking a look at the various Bell & Howell Eymax lenses I acquired several years back as part of a lot purchase. I don’t know much of anything about these lenses, but all of the ones I have in stock are in Bell & Howell Eyemo mounts. The lens barrels unfortunately do not relate who made these lenses for Bell & Howell, but I assume they were made for the military as much of the collection the lenses came along with was military surplus. As they have been sitting for quite a while, all of these lenses need to be cleaned, re-greased, and collimated, but I will be working on that between other projects over the next several weeks. I have 25mm, 50mm and 6” telephoto Eymax lenses in stock, including a couple that are listed on my website right now. Are any of you familiar with these lenses? I find no advertising for them or listings of any kind, other than classified ads. I would love to find out who manufactured them and when. And if anyone has shot with them before, what was the experience like? I look forward to hearing from you!
