  • B & W (Walter Biermann and Johannes Weber), Berlin, Germany
    B & W (Walter Biermann and Johannes Weber), Berlin, Germany. They started in Berlin in 1947 making high grade optical filters (color filters) and using Schott glass. They made filters under contract to many (most?) of the leading German firms inc Leica, Hasselblad, Rollei, as well as selling today (2000) under their own name. It is therefore interesting to compare the mounts of some in-house filters and also non-official ones and this explains why they are often so alike. (see advert. Fieldgrass and Gale, Am.

Later there was a f8.0 144in, for 28x28in in 1960, mirror optics for tracking such as a f1.0 24in and a f4.0 64in. (The layout of the 40in is shown in Bak 001).
