That is a shame, Carlos, whether it is a meniscus
or an achromat. The "anastigmat" lens of that
era was a CZJ Tessar design made under license
from Bausch & Lomb. (Two such lenses in Kodak
VP's were carried high by Mallory and Irvine on 8
JUN 1924: one had taken the high picture at the
Grand Couloir on 5 JUN. Those cameras have never
been recovered, though Kodak has offered to
develop the film when we find them.)
