Post by Walt Wise » Mon Aug 26, 2024 10:38 am

Here we have for sale two Model T Ford H lenses with matching purple tint. No photographer here, so attached are my best attempt at pics to show tint. Asking $75 which includes FREE Shipping to any of the lower 48 contiguous states only. Paypal preferred, using the Family and Friends option or a check will work too. If interested, I will provide needed info for payment. Thanks for looking!!! Walt Wise

Thanks Mr. Richard C.!!! I know the white balance setting on my camera is what needs changing, but I just couldn't figure it all out this morning and gave up. The lenses are under a VERY white painter's drop cloth which I use for all my T part pics.

Bottom line I guess, the lenses match and both are a light shade of purple - not the lightest I have ever seen or the darkest either...

It should be said that Ford did not make purple lens. The sun turns them that way. Look at the clear outside ring where lens was shielded from the sun.

I’ve been told that placing them into a microwave oven for a few minutes will turn them purple also….. Anyone ever try this..?
