Wray (lenses)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wray (Optical Works) Ltd. was a British camera and lens manufacturer based in Bromley, Kent.
The company had a reputation for producing excellent quality lenses and durable quality cameras including models such as the Wrayflex. Many Wray lenses remain in use, especially in photographic enlargers.
Wray also made aerial reconnaissance lenses. Their 36" f/6.3 is particularly good but suffers from spherical aberration on full bore. They also made a 36" f/4, but this can only be used with an orange filter and orthochromatic film as it is not well corrected for chromatic aberration.
